Speedy deletion of Macmillan cancer trust

A tag has been placed on Macmillan cancer trust, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

I've replied on my talk page where you left your note, but have reproduced it here for your convenience. I can explain first that when an organization makes statements about itself (as opposed to quoting the statements of others), and those statements are not cold hard fact (like its physical location) but assertions about its intentions, methods, etc., on Wikipedia that falls under the heading of advertising. The main problem with the article I re-read just now is that there were no references or sources -- no arm's-length third-party expert opinions that stated in what way the organization was notable in a verifiable way, and those are really a very basic requirement of Wikipedia articles. Please start by reading WP:Your first article and WP:Why was my article deleted? -- as well as our conflict of interest policy to avoid future problems and the other policies linked in this paragraph -- and see if you can craft something that meets all the policies in this paragraph. Incidentally, it is a common misconception that the mere existence of a corporation is sufficient for it to be "entitled" to an article in Wikipedia; organizations must be sufficiently notable to be somehow distinguished from their peers, usually by third-party expert opinion which says they are somehow better. Finding quotations of that nature would be fairly essential. Good luck with your efforts. Accounting4Taste:talk 14:42, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Macmillan Caring Locally

The article Macmillan Caring Locally has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

no evidence of notability

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
