Speedy deletion nomination of Dryburgh Athletic Under 11's


A tag has been placed on Dryburgh Athletic Under 11's 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Cheese waffles


A tag has been placed on Cheese waffles, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic.

Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted.

AfD consensus
The consensus established in June 2012 at Articles for deletion/Throw In Records was for deletion. It is not appropriate to try to work around that community consensus by re-establishing an article with the same problems under variant names. AllyD (talk) 12:01, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

Important
I'm not wanting to discourage you from editing, but I'm asking you to stop for a bit and to do some reading instead. First, please read WP:COPYVIO - I am quite sure that at least one of your articles was copied from a book (the Throw Ins article). This is not allowed on Wikipedia for legal reasons. Ask me if you have any problems understanding the policy - it has to be written in a fairly formal way, but I can clarify things. Second, please WP:GNG about general notability. Articles about non-notable subjects get deleted. Third, read WP:RS about the reliable independent sources needed to prove the notability. Fourth, read WP:PRIMER. OK. If you find a subject you think would fit, Google it and see if there already is an article on it. If there isn't, go to WP:TEAHOUSE (not kidding...) and discuss it with someone there. Do please remember that this is an encyclopaedia, and not social media or somewhere just to play around in. Good luck, and I hope not to see your articles in future. (Not being rude - I work mainly in deletion. If I don't see your articles, it means that no-one is tagging them for deletion. Do ask questions - this is a very complicated place with all sorts of rules and goings-on. Peridon (talk) 12:13, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
