Why did you delete National Center for Women and Families? edit
Why was this article deleted? I wanted to check the organization because it is recommended by the National Cancer Institute and NIH booklet on breast cancer, linked to the breast cancer article on wikipedia. Is there something wrong with the Center? It seems to be legit. Rutgersph (talk) 17:20, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
- The article was deleted after a consensus was formed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/National Research Center for Women & Families that it should be deleted. Stifle (talk) 18:05, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for your note, I appreciate it very much. But I was surprised by what you said because looking at the info it doesn't look like a consensus to me. It looks like a disagreement with some people trying to improve the article by adding references and others saying take it down anyway and then you deleted it. You didn't explain why it was deleted so that's my question. Is it a bad organization? There are lots of health organizations listed on wikipedia that don't seem as well known, so that's probably not the reason. How can the organization be cited by NIH and National Cancer Institute and not be good enough for wikipedia? That's what I don't understand. When people see an agency listed in a newspaper they want to know more about it and that's why wikipedia is so helpful, isn't it?

- Please note that it is now too late to bring up arguments that should haver been made in the deletion discussion. You will need to consult the deletion discussion to see the reasons why the article was not considered appropriate for Wikipedia.
- If you feel that I have not followed the deletion process correctly, you can make a request at Wikipedia:Deletion review, but this can't be done just because you disagree with the result. Stifle (talk) 19:15, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
I am asking you a question. Not looking to argue with you. I didn't see this before it was deleted. I don't have time to spend on the wikipedia process I am trying to ask a question because the subject matter (breast cancer) matters to me.
