Speedy deletion nomination of Toowoomba Mountaineers edit

 

A tag has been placed on Toowoomba Mountaineers 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 about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, 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. 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.

I saw your message on Funnyfarm's talk page and will be happy to userfy. Dlohcierekim 13:46, 16 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
I've moved it to User:DarrenMentor/Toowoomba Mountaineers. The article needs some rewriting. I've struck a couple of lines and made suggestions in bold. The language needs to be less flowery and the history of the league may need to be stuck entirely. It may be best jsut to condece all that into a couple of sentences. The article needs more information about the team and how it meets the general notability guideline. I am not convinced they meet WP:Athlete, so you should definitely seek feedback before moving back into article space. The article must have verifiable information sourced by reliable, 3rd party sources not connected to the subject. There are a number of Google hits, so hopefully this can be done. See user:dloh/d2 for some more suggestions about how to improve the article. (Ignore the part about deleted again.)
Please bear in mind that this should not be moved back into article space without major improvements in terms of content and sourcing. Also, there is a limited amount of time that it can remain as a sandbox page in user space, so progress must be evident. Good luck and happy editing. Dlohcierekim 14:07, 16 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Toowoomba Basketball Association edit

 

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

A tag has been placed on Toowoomba Basketball Association, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

  • It appears to be a clear copyright infringement. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

    If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.

  • It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for 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.
