Speedy deletion nomination of Ladies Invitational Deadbeat Society edit

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Ladies Invitational Deadbeat Society 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 person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content or organised event, 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. —C.Fred (talk) 21:21, 1 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

How to take time over making an article edit

Unfortunately, many people put in a one-liner and never add to it, and so articles that do not clearly show why their subject is important or significant get speedily deleted. The best way to start a new article is to click on Help:Userspace draft and fill in the title: that will make a draft page where you can develop the article in your own time and, when it is ready, either move it directly to the main encyclopedia, or click on a link which will send it to WP:Articles for creation, where an experience user will look at it and either accept it or give you feedback. Read WP:Your first article for good general advice, particularly about the need for references to reliable sources. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 22:39, 1 February 2014 (UTC)Reply
