Existence is not enough for a topic to be the subject of a Wikipedia article
I see that at Talk:Blake Bortles Wikipedia Club you wrote"This page should not be speedily deleted because... (there really is a Blake Bortles Wikipedia Club. You can find the twitter account. It was founded by Barstool Sports podcast Pardon My Take.)" However, the page Existence ≠ Notability points out "One of the biggest misconceptions about Wikipedia is that Wikipedia is about everything. When it comes down to Wikipedia's real mission, that is simply not true. Wikipedia is strictly about topics that meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Whatever and whoever falls short is not entitled to have an article." The mere fact that something exists is not sufficient reason for an article about it to exist: it must not only exist, but be significant and notable. A group of friends who get together to edit Wikipedia is very unlikely to satisfy Wikipedia's notability guidelines.
