An article about the Welsh Foundation was recently deleted and blocked prior to allowing me the opportunity to provide justification for the article. The article was initially deleted because it was deemed to "not assert notability." I disagree with this opinion as this organization is the first and only 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that is funded entirely by proceeds of a Charitable Lottery Pool (CLP). This unique approach to fund-raising is significant because it is not currently utilized by any other public charity. Please reconsider the deletion of this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nonsumqualiseram (talk • contribs) 03:30, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Being funded by a lottery does not equate to notability - many organisations worldwide are funded in such a way. Indeed, the practice is common in the rest of the Western world, particularly in the UK, where raffles, tombolas, and national lottery pools have been operating for years. If you feel the company is still notable, please make a request at deletion reviews. I would, however, strongly suggest that you read WP:COI first, and wait for someone else to make an article about the organisation.

Misplaced deletion review request

Hello, you had added [1] a deletion review request template for Welsh Foundation into the instructional comments at the top of the logpage for September 3rd. These comments are only visible in edit mode. I noticed the comments were there when I went to close-out the log today. I have inserted your request on today's log, Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2008 September 8, where you may want to watch and participate in the discussion.
