Wheaton Volunteer Rescue Squad
The article Wheaton Volunteer Rescue Squad has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. J Milburn 19:54, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi there. Now, the specific issue with this page was that it did not assert the notability of the subject. You can read about Wikipedia's definition of notability here, and specifically relating to companies and other organisations (which seems to be most appropriate here) on this page. When writing about the subject, please ensure that you establish this notability, usually by referencing several reliable sources, and remember that Wikipedia's articles should be written from a neutral point of view. Feel free to recreate the article, as long as you remember these things. J Milburn 20:20, 29 August 2007 (UTC)


 * From my point of view:


 * First, an organization (either for-profit or non-for-profit) is notable if it complies with the notability guidelines you'll find at WP:N. They can be resumed as "It's notable if a reliable third party has covered it". In other words: has some journal talked about that squad? Anyway, please do read WP:N and WP:V.


 * Second, about making a "basic" article, I can point you to WP:STUB. But do please note that wikipedia is not a vehicle for self-promotion, nor a way to get more traffic to your internal wiki, nor a free hosting provider: this is an encyclopedia with factual information. Please read WP:SPAM before putting any links to external webpages, as it seems that it was the reason behind the deletion of your article.
