User talk:FNHealthCouncil
The article First Nations Health Council has been proposed for deletion. The proposed-deletion notice added to the article should explain why.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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. Oddbodz (talk) 22:57, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of First Nations Health Council
[edit]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 First Nations Health Council requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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.

Issues
[edit]Ok, first off, welcome to Wikipedia, but this is probably not the welcome you were hoping for. Secondly, I would like to say that I support your organization and your efforts to help first nations peoples. However, work on wikipedia must be done in accordance with policies. There are a few issues :
- 1) Your user name is clearly associated with the topic, which indicates a Conflict of Interest
- 2) Your article text was primarily a copy and paste/paraphrase of your own press release. This raises both copyright issudes, and neutraltity WP:POV issues. The organization could release the text into the public domain, but that would still leave the neutrality issues.
- 3) You need to show notability of your organization. Mainstream newspaper or magazine articles. written specifically about the organization (not just mentioning them in passing).
If you have questions, you may respond here, or on my own talk page, and I can try and help you further. Gaijin42 (talk) 23:03, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
Additionally, it appears your account is intended to be used for the purpose of telling the world about an organization or cause that you consider worthwhile. Unfortunately, many good causes are not sufficiently notable for their own Wikipedia article, and all users are discouraged from editing in any area where they have an inherent conflict of interest, though you may wish to consider one of these alternative outlets. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text
{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}
below this notice. Thank you.
