User talk:Andy henshaw

Welcome!
Hello, Andy henshaw, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Culshaw, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type help me on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! WWGB (talk) 12:31, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Culshaw


A tag has been placed on Culshaw 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this 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. WWGB (talk) 12:31, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

Sorry about this
Many new editors don't understand Wikipedia, and because of this many articles get deleted shortly after creation. You've got some links above that will help, but basically your article was unsourced and promotional. To see what an encyclopedic article would look like, see Mitford family. Take a look at WP:NOR and WP:VERIFY. To learn more about the type of sources we use (and a lot of editors don't understand what sources we use) see WP:RS. Finally, not all families meet our criteria for notability, look at WP:GNG and WP:PEOPLE. Dougweller (talk) 13:15, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
