[edit] Notability of Sunset Players, inc

A tag has been placed on Sunset Players, inc requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 14:23, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

• That other possibly non-notable subjects have an article on Wikipedia is not a paticularly good reason to keep your article as well. As far as I could see, the article in no way explained how the group Sunset Players, inc is notable; see the general notability guidelines (there are a number of specific ones, but I am not sure which one would apply). In addition, the article contained the phrase "Our goal is ..." which is inappropriate for an encyclopedia article, as it implies that it has been written by a member of the organization to promote it. (See the guidelines about conflict of interest in writing about yourself, your organization, etc.) If you disagree with the deletion, you can contest it at deletion review.

• No, this link doesn't seem to be a sufficient reference. Regardless of its independence, it is just a directory of all theaters in some area, so it constitutes trivial coverage. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 15:06, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
