Speedy deletion nomination of Drake Fraternity


A tag has been placed on Drake Fraternity requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that your page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. ...William 16:57, 6 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Hey there. I noticed that you wrote in your summary when you created Drake Fraternity that you were going to be working on it more in the future. In general, it's best to give a general description of an institution (one that can pass our verifiablity and notability policies) before publishing the article. So you know, if your article does get deleted, you can ask the administrator who deletes it to create it in your userspace, as User:Akshetty2994/Drake Fraternity or something like that, and you can work on it there without having to worry about it being deleted, and publish it once it's up to the standards for articles. — PinkAmpers  &#38;  ( Je vous invite à me parler )  17:14, 6 March 2013 (UTC)


 * If you like, I will move this into your userspace for you to develop, as PinkAmpersand suggests; but before you put much effort into this, be aware that local fraternities are not often able to meet Wikipedia's WP:Notability standard, which requires references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Independent would mean from outside the local University environment. For more detail, see WP:42 and WP:College and university article guidelines. You may do better to cover the fraternity by a mention in the University article. JohnCD (talk) 23:33, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
