I recently created an article "TAITRA"; however it is on the category candidates for speedy deletion. I am a staff of this organization, and I want to let other people know the purpose of our organization. The Chinese edition was posted, and it was not deleted.

Hello! The reason I flagged this article for speedy deletion is that there is no indication on the website that this text is released under the GNU Free Documentation License, which is a requirement for it to be included on Wikipedia. If your organization would like to release this text under the GFDL, you may wish to see the copyright guidelines for instructions on how to do so. Even if so, however, the text appears quite promotional and would likely be a candidate for speedy deletion as text intended to promote an organization. If you feel the organization is notable under the notability guidelines for organizations and would like some assistance in writing an original article in a non-promotional tone, please leave a note on my talk page and I will be happy to assist you.

As the reviewing admin, I've removed the speedy tag and removed the copyvio problem parts. Taitra seems to be a notable organization. For example see http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/biz/archives/2006/01/05/2003287546. However the article can sure be improved. See WP:NPOV and other relevant policies. --Ligulem 00:29, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
