Speedy deletion nomination of Sacramento Book Collectors Club


A tag has been placed on Sacramento Book Collectors Club 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 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, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Sacramento Book Collectors Club
I think I may be getting somewhere with this now and can halt all the deletion processes. I've found two book sources, a news source, and a log in the University of California, Davis that demonstrate that the club is recognised as containing historically important documents of 19th century California - and that sounds very much like a notable topic that Wikipedia should have. The problem with your article as written is it came across as looking like the typical book club that meets in the local parish church on Wednesdays. When writing an article, it's best to concentrate on what would be important from a worldwide perspective. Anyway, I don't think the article is going to be deleted now. Let me introduce you to my friend who enjoys rescuing articles too, and who (unlike me), is a Californian native with experience in academia - she might be able to assist with improving the article.
