User talk:Gate1Krew

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A tag has been placed on Gate One Krew requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, 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 assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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. Excirial ^{(Talk,Contribs)} 11:47, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gate One Krew

(Matching article talk page) Gate One Krew is an official skate team that has participated in X-Games and Volcom skate tournament's here in Japan. The Japanese citizen have also request that we make a wikipedia page about the history of our team which has been around for 30 years and we deserve all the right to let people know about us.

• In its current state the article matches multiple criteria for speedy deletion. If violated the Neutral point of view ("BEST American team" isn't neutral), it doesn't assert significance (The article doesn't state any tournaments), The article doesn't contain any reliable sources, Hence, it could even be called advertisement.
  
  In short, the article needs a major restructuring and rewriting to be acceptable. At this time its just a list of people, and not an encyclopaedic article. If what you state is true (And you can reliably source it) i think an article about your team is acceptable for wikipedia. But in order to make it that way, all speedy deletion reasons must be voided. --Excirial ^{(Talk,Contribs)} 12:23, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
