Contested deletion

[edit]

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... This is about a UK wide charity in existance since 1990 that provides an important social function to the elderley. It is notable in that the charity has been referenced in a number of articles Guardian, Times and websites charitydigitalnews, etc. unfortunately their name means they can be hard to identify in a general web search, having them on Wikepedia will enable people to find them much easier.

I will add further references and links shortly to evidence their importance to society. But the page should remain for same reason as "Age UK" page

The project's work in Bedford (see the write-up on the Community Netwrok website was reported on the AboutMyArea site, but it seems that the site is not accepted. Nevertheless, there is an example of a third-party report of the kind needed to establish notability. I'll have a look at their other projects:

I'd be quite surprised if none of the above yielded some third-party coverage to establish notability. In the meantime, anybody else who would like to help with WP:BEFORE would be welcome. --RexxS (talk) 22:42, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
