A tag has been placed on SENG Supporting Emotional Needs of the Gifted 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 a company or corporation, 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

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 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.

Part of the reason for the deletion was that no independent reliable sources were mentioned. One of the ways an organization can be deemed notable is if it's gotten substantial independent coverage, e.g. in the press. Press releases and other self-published content don't count, nor do passing mentioned like directory entries and one-paragraph blurbs. —C.Fred (talk) 03:08, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Additionally, rereading the deleted article, it appears to have been cut-and-pasted from the organization's website. It wound need to be rewritten in neutral point-of-view. (As a quick rule of thumb, first-person pronouns should never be used in a Wikipedia article.) —C.Fred (talk) 03:11, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
As far as what process to use, you may want to write the article in user space first, e.g. User:L.S.Avecilla/Supporting Emotional Needs of the Gifted. The notability rules aren't in place in user space; as long as the text isn't blatantly promotional or copyright infringing, it's easier to keep draft articles in user space. The other editors you mentioned (as well as anybody else) can then help refine the article before it gets moved to main article space. —C.Fred (talk) 14:01, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
