Speedy deletion nomination of Long island firearms


A tag has been placed on Long island firearms 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 a club, 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 the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Harry the Dog WOOF  14:53, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Request to write article
As well as User:Harry the Dirty Dog is, I am curious about this request. I should be obliged if you would give some more details, as I have not come across direct requests from Wikipedia to individuals without accounts, as presumably you were at the time. As Harry said, organisations are not encouraged to write about themselves. I have deleted the article, as it fails to show the significance required to pass CSD A7, and definitely would not pass WP:AFD an Articles for Deletion discussion. Please see WP:GROUP about the required notability, and WP:RS about the reliable independent sources required to prove the claims to notability. A7 requires less, but the article then would be likely to be taken to AfD, so it's best to aim for the more important target. As I say, I can see no reason for you to have been asked to create the article and would need to contact the person making the request to find out. Thank you.

I contacted the website administrator from Long Island Firearms who tasked me with writing the article, I will forward any information he provides from the request. -Akunamtata
