Dear, I would like to draw your attention to the history of article "migrantas" an initiative in Berlin on the empowerment of migrant women, that was deleted by the concept autopromotion and later by the attribution of irrelevance.Men and women worked for improving it but it seems without results.It would be good to have some suggestions on that.best regards, Patricia Hi Patricia, It looks like the article was deleted because it directly copied text from anexisting website, and because it appeared promotional. You could try to recreate the article, but would have to write it from the pointof view of third-party sources writing about Migrantas. The best sources I can find are: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/10/28/style/28iht-agerm.html http://www.morgenpost.de/printarchiv/berlin/article1608757/Kanzlerin-ueberpr... I can't see all of that article, but it appears to mention that a "Kollektiv migrantas" won a prize: http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=migrantas+... The German chancellor seems to have been involved. Winning a prominentaward usually helps to establish notability, justifying an article in Wikipedia. There is also a reference here:http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=ZyXnAAAAMAAJ&q=%22migrantas%22+berlin... However, this is not a third-party reference. It would help to have more sources. Two good third-party sources may notbe enough to pass notability. Perhaps others here can help research theorganisation; Spanish sources would be fine too. At any rate, if you do want to recreate the article, it would be best to create adraft in your user space first and then let some editors look at it to advise you as to whether it would survive a deletion request, before putting it inarticle space. Best,Andreas
