Speedy deletion nomination of Rockbrook Camp for Girls


A tag has been placed on Rockbrook Camp for Girls 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 this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance 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. Wuh Wuz  Dat  14:51, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

HelpMe!
my article was tagged for speedy deletion, and I am not entirely sure why, but would like to fix whatever needs to be fixed. Thanks.

 * The notice above explains it pretty thoroughly, but I'll paraphrase: There is question about whether or not your article is notable (notability guidelines can be found at WP:ORG). I think the issue is that, unless a passing user has all of the books being referenced, it's hard to check the information in them. Out of the three links provided as references, one is a primary source and the other two don't even mention Rockbrook Camp for Girls. A quick Google search is returning little in terms of reliable independent sources. — GorillaWarfare talk 17:23, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
