Why does my user page keep getting tagged for speedy deletion? I am trying to create a request for an article on my organization, Occupy Democrats. I read that I must disclose my connection (I am the founder) to it on my user page, which I did, but it keeps getting tagged for speedy deletion. What am I doing wrong?
