Speedy deletion nomination of Truth In Action Ministries
[edit]Hello CharlieVIE,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Truth In Action Ministries for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Barney the barney barney (talk) 16:44, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Truth In Action Ministries. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Click here to contest this speedy deletion, which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 16:51, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
- Hi. You need to provide independent 3rd party coverage (e.g. newspaper reports), to demonstrate notability. and (2) you need to consider "writing neutrally" per WP:NPOV, so you can't say "activates believers to see the world in light of God’s truth—and transform their culture for Christ", or "relies on the grace of God", because Wikipedia is essentially agnostic as regards the existence of God, whatever your personal beliefs may be.

[edit] Hello, CharlieVIE. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.
All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.
If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:
- Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
- Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
- Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
- Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.
Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. bonadea contributions talk 20:01, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
