You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on The Will Erwin Headache Research Foundation 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

Please do not place links to 'Contributions'. This is highly inappropriate. Wikipedia does not exist for fundraising or advertising. Thank you JBH (talk) 19:12, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]


advice

[edit]

As reviewing administrator, I had to delete the article, both because it did not give any evidence of importance, and because it was entirely promotional.

First, I remind you of our rules on Conflict of Interest. If you are associated with the organization as a paid editor, you must declare this. See our Terms of Use, [1] Section 4, "Paid contributions without disclosure.
In addition, Wikipedia may not be used for the purposes of promotion-- we are not a directory. Our articles are directed not to prospective clients of contributors, but to the general public, who may want the sort of information found in encyclopdias. See also our rules on what makes an organization notable. It requires references providing substantial coverage from third-party independent reliable sources, not press releases or mere announcements. Association with notable organizations does;t make every organization so associated notable.

You are correct that the page for the European Headache Foundation may not be much better. It was written back when our standards were lower, and I shall now see whether it can be quickly improved, or whether it must be deleted also. DGG ( talk ) 06:01, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
