I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Speedy deletion nomination of Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP)

A tag has been placed on Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies.

Country articles

You should consider slowing down on adding that section to every article. There may not be consensus to keep it for various reasons so it would be a shame to spend all that time. Maybe bring it up on each page individually or at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Countries.Cptnono (talk) 23:40, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

About Speedy deletion

Hi,

I had tried to create profile for Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) on 22nd of February. But wikipedia has deleted it. I'm working at the Institute and try to understand how can repost the information? If you can help me to solve this problem, I really appreciate.

Hello Mesgul, and welcome to Wikipedia.
There were several problems with your article versions. Your first version contained text taken directly from the company website. Even if you work there, you most probably don't own copyright to that content, so you may not simply copy and paste that content without a provable permission by the copyright owner. Even if you owned copyright, text taken from company websites is almost always written in a promotional tone, and thus not usable in a neutral, encyclopedic article.
I would advise you to first read our Frequently Asked Questions for organizations, which should cover most of your questions. If you still have questions, feel very free to ask.

Hi Amalthea,

Thanks for your response. I looked at FAQ and also COI guidelines. Although guidelines are little bit confusing, I tried to grasp it. As far as I understood, as a member of a non-profit organization, I need to be very careful about editing. I need to edit article again but more objectively and non-promotional way. Am I right? So after these speedy deletions which happened because of my illiteracy on wikipedia rules, can I still start over, edit article, and post it? or is this impossible?

Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mesgul82 (talk • contribs) 05:44, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Yes, since you are closely related to the topic, you have a conflict of interest, which makes it difficult for you to contribute to this article neutrally. It's certainly neither forbidden nor impossible, but as you said you have to be conscious about it.
What I would recommend is that you draft a new article in your user space, for example at User talk:Mesgul82/Institute for Economics and Peace; make sure to show why the organization is of encyclopedic notability in the first section, and use reliable third-party sources to support your facts. Google news suggests a number of potentially reliable sources, but I haven't looked at any of them yet. Once you're satisfied, you should come back here, and I'll take a look, and make suggestions. After that, we can move it into article space. You could also go through the WP:Articles for creation process; it's mostly intended for anonymous editors, but very often new editors use it as well to get some feedback for their article.
Lastly though, thank you for not being easily discouraged. I know that there are a lot of pitfalls on Wikipedia that tend to scare away new contributors. Most of those rules exist to ensure that Wikipedia is as useful as it can be, so it's great that you're willing to adapt to them.
