Ewelme Cricket Club
Hello

You deleted a page I created for Ewelme Cricket Club stating that it doesn't indicate significance, can you please explain why this happened?

Thanks

 * Thank you for your message. In future, please sign your messages by typing ~ at the end.
 * While I'm happy to answer questions, it looks like your question could have been answered and resolved more quickly if you had used my message wizard. It's linked as "Talk" after my name and at the top of my talk page. Why not try it next time?
 * Ewelme Cricket Club was deleted under criterion 7 under Articles at Criteria for speedy deletion because it was an article about a club which did not explain its importance or significance. Please see WP:ORG for details of how a club might be notable. If you think that the club meets those criteria, please explain which one it meets and provide citations from reliable sources to verify that, and I will undelete it.
 * Alternatively, you may file a deletion review request. Stifle (talk) 13:23, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Conflict of interest
If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam);
 * and you must always:
 * 1) avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see Business' FAQ. For more details about what constitutes a conflict of interest, please see Conflict of Interest. Stifle (talk) 13:23, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
