Church page
editHi! I saw that you created a page on the Ukrainian Christian Pentecostal Church (Bensenville, Illinois), however this page has several issues. I've moved it to your userspace at User:Vnazaruk/Ukrainian Christian Pentecostal Church (Bensenville, Illinois) so you can work on it.
The first issue is that the article lacks the independent, reliable sources to establish where this church is notable. Keep in mind that churches are not automatically notable because they exist - you have to show where there have been things like newspaper articles about the church or where they've been mentioned in books. Primary sources such as things put out by the church or people/organizations affiliated with them cannot establish notability. Brief passing mentions, reprints of press releases, or routine notifications of events won't establish notability either, as these are seen as trivial sources.
Another issue is that the article is only partially finished and requires that the empty sections be filled out and a lead written. You may want to look at articles for other churches to see how they're set up.
Finally, some of the content was written in a non-neutral, casual format. Always be careful when writing, as you want to avoid it coming across as for or against a given topic area. For example, the sentence "People come to this church to find their meaning in life while being able to worship and serve God in a safe place." has some flowery language in it.
I'm kind of concerned that there doesn't seem to be a lot of coverage out there for this church offhand, so I don't know that this would pass notability guidelines on Wikipedia. It's fairly difficult for many organizations, especially churches, to pass as they often don't get the needed coverage. In any case, since this is now in your userspace you'll have more time to look for sourcing and establish this notability. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:03, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Ukrainian Christian Pentecostal Church (Bensenville, Illinois), requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
- It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
- It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for 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 "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 deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. —teb728 t c 21:51, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
