From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A tag has been placed on Urban Learning Technology requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, 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.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. -FisherQueen (Talk) 10:52, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Urban Learning Technology

Hello. I deleted the article under general criterion for speedy deletion #1, "nonsense". While that might be a harsh reading (well, it's not patent nonsense), the article did not define at all what it was about, what is the context, did not state why is that a notable concept (whatever it is). It looked more like a fragment from a leaflet introduction than a barely coherent article.

While you're welcome to recreate the article that would satisfy the minimal criteria, a brief research of my own indicates that it's a program generated by 501c(3) organization Juxtopia, and the organization and the program seems to have very little external media coverage (notability), unless you can demonstrate otherwise. Please see What Wikipedia is Not, particularly the WP:SOAP part—however noble the cause might be, we don't accept articles which are promotional in nature—see also Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. Thus, even a better written article on the subject will probably don't have any chance to survive regular deletion process; you're certainly welcome to prove me wrong though. Thanks for your understanding. Duja► 07:08, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
