Your contributed article, Sabancı foundation
Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Sabancı foundation. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Sabanci Foundation. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will to continue helping improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Sabanci Foundation - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think that the article you created should remain separate, 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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. — Timneu22 · talk 13:40, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Sabancı Foundation
A tag has been placed on Sabancı 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies.

Please stop. If you continue to introduce inappropriate pages to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. If you need guidance on how to create appropriate pages, try using the Article Wizard. Please provide reliable sources and independent third-party coverage to show why these topics are notable. — Timneu22 · talk 13:42, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
Hi WanLegolas, and apologies for the rather rough welcome to Wikipedia. I reviewed your article Sabanci Vakfi; I suspect that many people did not immediately see the notability of the organization since there is little written on it in English. I went ahead and made the two Sabanci foundation pages redirects to Sabanci Vakfi (so there's only one article, centralized). I'll add a few references to make the notability clear, but I would encourage you to keep working on the article (I have no expertise here). But I would be happy to help with anything you need. Thanks for the work, and again, welcome. --TeaDrinker (talk) 18:37, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
