[edit] Welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia. To find out more about how to make useful contributions, take a look at the welcome page. To stay in Wikipedia, an article has to be about something notable, that is, of general interest. Click on Notability for an explanation of what that means. Also, it must give independently verifiable sources. Articles that don't meet these requirements are likely to be deleted. Follow the links below to learn more:

Thank you. Will (aka Wimt) 12:45, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of Gunnersbury Youth FC

A tag has been placed on Gunnersbury Youth FC 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. JohnCD (talk) 11:54, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Please read the guidelines on Conflict of Interest and Notability and Notability (organizations and companies). JohnCD (talk) 10:34, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

  • I'm sorry, but the fact that your club exists doesn't mean it can have an article in Wikipedia. WP is an encyclopedia, not a directory where every team, every band, every company can have an entry. The rules for deciding what gets in have been worked out in endless discussions and are summed up in the word notability - to find out just what that means read WP:N and WP:ORG. Read the WP:Business' FAQ as well - it's written for companies, but the same considerations apply to clubs and teams. JohnCD (talk) 14:52, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
