Speedy deletion of "Kyle Ballweg" edit

 

Kyle Ballweg, a page you created, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how they are important or significant, and thus why they should be included in an encyclopedia. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and the guidelines for biographies in particular.

You are welcome to contribute content that complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thank you. Donner60 (talk) 22:25, 5 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

November 2015 edit

  Please refrain from making nonconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits to Kyle Ballweg, including improper removal of a speedy deletion tag, have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. You have removed the tag when you have clearly been advised that you should not do this in the notice on the article page and in two previous attempts to create a similar article.

An article on a high school athlete must meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Here is a direct quote from Wikipedia:Notability (sports).

"High school and pre-high school athletes"

"High school and pre-high school athletes are notable only if they have received, as individuals, substantial and prolonged coverage that is (1) independent of the subject and (2) clearly goes beyond WP:ROUTINE coverage. Note that the first clause would exclude all school papers and school websites that cover their sports teams and other teams they compete against. The second clause excludes the majority of local coverage in both news sources and sports specific publications. It especially excludes using game play summaries, statistical results, or routine interviews as sources to establish notability." Donner60 (talk) 05:28, 6 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

In addition to pages already listed above, Getting started; Introduction to Wikipedia; Wikipedia:Simplified ruleset; and Wikipedia:Simplified Manual of Style are among many pages that can provide information to help you in editing or writing for Wikipedia.
