Speedy deletion nomination of East Bay Run Club edit

 

A tag has been placed on East Bay Run Club 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.

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. ttonyb1 (talk) 05:54, 1 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of East Bay Run Club edit

 

A tag has been placed on East Bay Run Club, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of East Bay Run Club and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.  Blanchardb -MeMyEarsMyMouth- timed 15:45, 1 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

 
Hello, Jstrishak. You have new messages at Ttonyb1's talk page.

Re: East Bay Run Club edit

I've userfied it to User:Jstrishak/East Bay Run Club. However you really shouldn't write about yourself or things that you're involved in per the conflict of interest guideline. As for photos, you need images with licenses that allow commercial use among other things - follow the steps at Wikipedia:Upload. I don't know how to put images in articles because as it says at my user page, I'm totally blind. I removed the copy of the text that you placed on my user talk page - just link to the article by putting two brackets around it [[like this]] and an admin will be able to find it. Also, please sign your comments with four tildes like this: "~~~~". Regards, Graham87 00:54, 2 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Type 1 Diabetes Association edit

 

The article Type 1 Diabetes Association has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non notable charity. WP:BEFORE shows no reliable, independent, substantial coverage

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
