Speedy deletion nomination of Code for America

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Code for America requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. ttonyb (talk) 18:53, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Text e-mailed. No surprise that I deleted it. Total absence of external links - and that for an organisation devoted to web development - incredible! Not even the organisation's own website and of course we must have links to significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. I am dubious about the lists of names but I have to admit that there are many blue links. Use special:myPage/sandbox to develop until it is viable. Always log in before editing. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 13:17, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
