Speedy deletion nomination of Vinding sportsforening

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 Vinding sportsforening 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 credibly 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 "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, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Hey JamesBWatson

I'm fairly new in this game of editing wiki pages/writing them so i'm not familar with how this works :) so please bare with me. I can undertand that you have requested for my English version of "Vinding Sportsforening" to be deleted.

The version which you have requested to be deleted was not the final version, I have taken a screenshot of the final version, which I will link in this message.

Now to the reason for creating a english version. Denmark has like many other countries seen a mass immigration of foreigners lately. Many of them do not understand danish for good reasons. I therefore thought it would be a service to them, to translate the page, and make it easier for them to join the local football club. I would gladly elaborate on the aforementioned if needed.

Best Regards Lucas - Denmark

Hi, thanks for message. You can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~~~~. Please add your messages to the bottom of the talk page, or they may be overlooked. If you post an article it will be assessed as it stands. If you don't want that to happen, you should write it as a draft. Not a reason for deletion, but you should use "sports club" in your title on enwiki, not Sportsforening

Note also that if you want someone to see a message on this page, you need to link to their user name and sign the message with four tildes. As it happens JamesBwatson only nominated the page, I actually deleted it. I deleted your article because

• it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the organisation, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the organisation claims or interviewing its management.

• the article was created in a single edit without wikilinks or references, and looks as if was copied or translated from an unknown and possibly copyrighted source. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

• If you have a conflict of interest when editing this article, you must declare it. In particular, if you work directly or indirectly for the club, or otherwise are acting on its behalf while being paid, you are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly. Regardless, if you are paid directly or indirectly by the club you are writing about, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:LLiedecke. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=LLiedecke|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message.

It is not our job to help promote your club, nor to help non-Danish-speaking immigrants, however worthy that aim might be.

I'm sorry this is all bad news, Jimfbleak - talk to me? 14:04, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
