Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Campus outreach opportunity league. While objective prose about products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Thank you.

What are you talking about??? How could I possibly be posting an advertisement when I am writing about the history of an organization that no longer exists. Please re-instate what I wrote. I'm simply trying to post some historical record here. After I do so, I plan to get others who have had historical connections to add to it.

I've restored the article, but it does appear promotional (the fact that the organization is no longer active aside). The fact that there were no sources was problematic, and also contributed to the feeling that the article only served to promote the organization. I would recommend adding the references you have as soon as possible, and editing the article to show specifically why the organization is/was notable. Additional news coverage, even if it's a citation from an off-line source (old newspaper, etc), would go a long way to proving the organizations notability. Sorry for the confusion, and please let me know if I can be of further assistance. UltraExactZZ ^Claims ~ Evidence 20:13, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

It is better to create a finished article before posting to Wikipedia; what was there looked like a promotion of the group, and was without sourced references. A new, properly sourced (and properly capitalized) article can be created at any time. Also: please remember to sign your postings to talk pages like this one. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:15, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
