[edit] Styg

An article about St. Theresa's Youth Group, a youth group at an English church. I'm sure they do good work, but this isn't the sort of thing that goes in Wikipedia--see Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. Things need to have some sort of claim to fame. Meelar (talk) 20:13, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)

A question (not a vote): what part of Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not says that "things have to have some sort of claim to fame"? I'm afraid I haven't time to read it all, but would be interested to see the boundaries of this guideline. Lupin 22:14, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
See the sections "not a memorial" ("Subjects of encyclopedia articles must have a claim to fame"), "not a general knowledge base", and "not self-promotion". Best, Meelar (talk) 23:30, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Abreviation of a non-notable youth group. Dave the Red (talk) 22:28, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. At a bare minimum it should have been a redirect to STYG anyway. Dang, and I thought this would be a brain of stig vanity article ... linas 06:14, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
