Hi there. I guess you are also a BK. I hope you don't mind me commenting on the Peace village article, and I would really like you to continue editing, but I have to point out that Wikipedia has policies to ensure that articles are really encyclopedia articles and not adverts or diatribes. If you read through I am sure you will appreciate the reasons for my concern.

In the past the BKWSU article was a diatribe that looked like it was written by people that really hated the BKWSU. It is only by enlisting the help of Wikipedia editors who had no connection with the BKWSU and insisting on an article that was well referenced, neutral and balanced that we ever managed to get a sane article. If we don't apply the same rules to what we do then we can't expect any respect and cooperation from the Wikipedia community.

For an article to stay on Wikipedia it has to be Notable, that means someone else such as an academic paper or reliable news source has to have written about Peace Village rather than relying on our own websites or literature (considered to be primary sources).

Also, links have to be used sparingly. An article on the BKWSU should only have a link to the BKWSU website, not Peace Village website. An article on Peace Village must only have links to the Peace Village website. The websites will link to each other anyway.

I will wait one week for you to improve the article before tagging the article for deletion and removing the link. Please don't think this is sabotage, it has just proved to be vital for us to act in a fair and impartial way here on Wikipedia, and, as I said before, I would really appreciate you continue editing.

Thanks & regards Bksimonb (talk) 18:07, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Peace Village Learning and Retreat Center

A tag has been placed on Peace Village Learning and Retreat Center 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 person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance 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 biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
