User talk:Ajs510

A tag has been placed on Full Contact Hockey League, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems 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 Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the 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. MLA 15:12, 3 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I have also tagged The Lost Cause for deletion as it is an article about a fantasy hockey team within the non-notable fantasy hockey team. MLA 15:15, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

I have deleted teh pages - as they do not meet the standards for inclusion in the encyclopedia, nor does the reference provide meet the standards for a reliable source. See User:Ajs510/deleted for the text you had worked on. I know how disheartening it can be to create a bunch of language and not be able to recover it - so I copied your work to this page in your user space. I suggest that you also copy it to your hard drive or save it as a file. -- Trödel 15:53, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I don't know how else to attempt to prove the relevance of this league above and beyond the reasons I've outlined on the other Talk pages. If you should happen to reconsider the deletions, or if there is anything else I can do, please advise. You are correct in stating that this league is not in the public eye outside of the FCHL website and Full Contact Poker's Hockey Forum (www.fullcontactpoker.com), but I assure you that it is *extremely* notable on those two references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ajs510 (talk • contribs)


 * NP - I think you will have an uphill battle. The best advice is to grow your group and grab the attention of others through a long term public relations effort that results in your group being reported on by an independent source. FYI, forums are not appropriate sources for encyclopedic information. While I am sure that this is a great group and the people who belong are having fun and totally engaged in a shared hobby. For something to be notable, at the very least it must be covered by independent reporting through a published source. -- Trödel 19:27, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks again, I'll work on getting our league a bit more recognition before asking for a revised ruling from the moderating team. I appreciate your kindness in saving the many, many hours of work I put into that page rather than just idly deleting it from the database, that was a sincerely considerate thing to do. May I ask approximately how long the document will remain in my Deleted file before being permanently deleted from existence? I'd like to save it to my hard drive but I'm not in a position at the present moment to do so. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ajs510 (talk • contribs)
 * There really is no time limit; however, since it is recreated deleted content, there is precedent for deleting it - but you should be given notice. Let me know if it gets deleted before you have time to copy it - I can restore it if needed for you -- Trödel 02:02, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
