Galkaha: I have read all the help pages and I made sure to comply with requirements. I am not affiliated with Adopt-a-Pet.com. I just think since the Petfinder, the competing for-profit organization has a Wikipedia page, it will be fair to have a page for a non-profit. Don't you think? The editor who deleted the page indicated copyright violation, but I think he is wrong, since no copyrighted materials were used in the creation of the article, they were cited as references, and if this is a problem, I can remove them. I put quite a bit of time into the article, and now I can't recover the latest version in my sandbox, which is quite annoying.

Hi Galkaha, Please read
this page for more information. LegoKontribsTalkM 00:45, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply

I did read this page and yes, I think Adopt-a-pet.com has its own notability. And it was not deleted because of notability but because of copyright, which I don't agree with since I did write everything with my own words and typed with my own two fingers. Any similarity in wording is coincidental for sure, so please let me know where it appears to be a violation, and I will be happy to change the wording. Also, is there a way to restore the latest version of the article? Thanks.

Please provide substantiation about the "notability" of this website first. And, a quick hint, you can sign you message by placing ~~~~ at then end of it tho show something like that : Amqui (talk) 03:43, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think if you see the article I wrote (will anybody tell me how it can be restored???), the notability will be obvious. Adopt-a-pet.com is THE LARGEST pet adoption non-profit in North America. Over 12000 shelters advertize their pets on the web site. I have seen CNN Headline News program recommending it in the last two weeks. It is a big deal company that has been around for over 10 years.

From your statements here it still does not appear that you have read
WP:RS that cover the topic in a significant manner. Age of the business doesnt matter, that they do good work doesnt matter that they claim to be the largest doesnt matter without actual specific coverage. Can you provide that coverage and not just claim "i saw something on TV some time"? -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 17:08, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply

The article I wrote, which has been deleted, and I keep asking how I can restore it (will anybody help???), has references to [1] Guidestar charity check http://www.guidestar.org/organizations/95-4761276/humane-america-animal-foundation.aspx [2] Charity navigator http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=11882 which are independent organizations providing information and rating non-profit organizations. Just now, the Google News search for "Adopt-a-Pet.Com" returned the following unsponsored links:

In fact, I think my article has a much better set of external sources than

Petfinder.org, which is published. Please help me restore my article and please read it before we discuss further. I did expect that I would need to edit it before it is accepted. I never expected it to be just deleted like this! Galkaha (talk) 17:31, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply

1)
the fact that other articles currently suck and may not meet the Wikipedia criteria is not a reason to allow additional articles that do not meet the criteria.
2) a rating from a charity rating service is not significant coverage
3) brief passing mentions "you can use a service like adoptapet or petfinder" is not significant coverage
do you have anything else? -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 18:00, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You can also ask to receive the content of the deleted article (which will most likely be accepted if you wrote it). Please see Category:Wikipedia_administrators_who_will_provide_copies_of_deleted_articles, and ask an admin of the list to help you. Amqui (talk) 18:04, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
