Speedy deletion nomination of Cottesloe Scout Group, 140th WA Troop edit
A tag has been placed on Cottesloe Scout Group, 140th WA Troop requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a club, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guidelines for people and for organizations. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Deleted talk page edit
hello to the taggers. Being a novice, I am trying to get into my head what needs or requires to be done to this article. I am trying do develop the history of the Group from our historic Log Book records from 1921, when it was formed.
I have added the Categories: Scouting and Guiding in Australia. Awartha24 (talk) 03:47, 6 October 2009 (UTC)thank you Awartha24 (talk) 03:47, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
- Heya. Articles need to pass our inclusion guidelines to stay on Wikipedia. The guideline for organisations like that is WP:CLUB. WP:CLUB says that "Individual chapters of national and international organizations are usually not notable enough to warrant a separate article unless sufficient notability is established through reliable sources that extend beyond the organization's local area.". This means that you have to demonstrate coverage of the troop (not the scouts as a whole) in third-party, reliable sources; sources not produced by the scout group or anyone associated with them, that are vaguely "official" (for example, not blogs). Hope that helps. Ironholds (talk) 10:20, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
