A tag has been placed on Philadelphia@Work requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. - Warthog Demon 02:49, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Articles in Wikipedia need to meet certain standards, the first hurdle is Wikipedia:Notability; specifically in this case WP:ORG. I researched both orgs and could find no reliable sources that referenced either Philadelphia@Work or Transitional Work Corporation. Please read the Wikipedia policies and guidelines on how to create articles. Dreadstar † 03:07, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
Becuase my resources aren't known to the "editors" my page and all of my work gets completely deleted? I don't think that's fair at all!

Directly from Wikipedia:Verifiability "the most reliable sources are peer-reviewed journals and books" my references are peer journals and organizations!! Dc2000dsl ( talk) 03:28, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
If you need more "notability", look at the publications page.

The links i provided are copies of legitimate publications and others are completely external. i don't understand the problem with this. Dc2000dsl ( talk) 03:42, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
Transitional work may not be job creation, but it seems very similar to Workforce Investment Act of 1998. If different, you need to explain how so. It may just warrant a section in that article vice its own separate article. — Rlevse • Talk • 13:17, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
It has nothing to do with the workforce investment act of 1998. I can see how you would think it's similar but this organization was created as a result of the welfare reform in 1996. I could see how my article could link TO Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act but not as a part of it. My organization is different from all of the state organizations that do this, commonly called EARN centers but TWC is NOT that. Dc2000dsl ( talk) 14:03, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
Please explain how the articles to not meet
WP:ORG becuase from what i read, they do. If you need even more references as to the organizations presence:

http://www.fathom.com/feature/122607/3613_casestudy_part2.pdf
I could see how transitional work should in its article link TO Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act and the workforce investment act of 1998 but from a flow of information standpoint, it makes more sense for it to either have its own page or be a subsection on the transitional work corporation page becuase transitional work corporation established the model of transitional work.
I only tried recreating the articles becuase i didnt know why they were being deleted and i don't remember making comments in the articles but if i did then i appologize becuase i am new to wikipedia. Dc2000dsl ( talk) 01:22, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Then where would i find an experienced editor to help with this? And what if they think the sources are 'reliable' and you don't? As far as i'm concerned, a reliable source is different according to the persons perspective and involvement in the subject.

Image:TWC Logo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a
claim of fair use. However, it is currently
orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed.
You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see
our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot ( talk) 20:51, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
