Speedy deletion of London Jewish Forum

A tag has been placed on London Jewish Forum 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 indicate 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 page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the 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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. -- Jeandré, 2008-08-01t12:02z 12:02, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi Fraser. The article is no longer being considered for speedy deletion (I've removed the hangon tag you added because that only applies in those circumstances). It's currently tagged for notability - our guideline for notability for organizations can be found here. Basically what is needed are independent, third party, published sources that have taken an in depth look at the organization. This is based on the idea that Wikipedia considers a subject important if other significant commentators also consider the subject important. Since this appears to be a group set up to provide political influence, clear indication that it has a significant impact on politics would also be appropriate. Again, independent, third party sources that indicate that are required.

I can't be too specific about what sort of publications would be best in this case because I don't know the subject area that well. National newspapers tend to be a good cover all but they aren't always the best for a specialized subject. Well respected political journals might be best also possibly publications that focus on Jewish issues. In any case the publication should be considered a good source of information for a general reader, i.e. rigorous in investigation/coverage and with a reputation for accuracy.

Hope that helps. Feel free to ask for more explanation if not. I'm about to sign off for the day - so it may take me a while to get back to you but other editors can also help. If you need something type {{Helpme}} (with the curly brackets) on this page along with your question and an experienced editor will be along shortly to try and help out. -- SiobhanHansa 15:26, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
