2017–18 South Shields F.C. season
Hello Bill and welcome to Wikipedia. Unfortunately articles on non-league club seasons do not meet our notability guidelines (WP:NSEASONS) and the article has been nominated for deletion. You are welcome to work on improving 2017–18 Northern Premier League, 2017–18 FA Trophy or 2017–18 FA Cup qualifying rounds, and of course South Shields F.C.. Happy to answer any questions you have – I do a lot of editing on non-league football. Cheers, Number   5  7  21:18, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Hello Bill. As I said, non-league club season articles do not meet the WP:NSEASONS notability guideline. Newcastle and Brighton's do as they are in "top professional leagues". Number   5  7  08:47, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Okay, so if i was to add this information to the South Shields FC page instead, would this be acceptable?
 * No, it wouldn't be appropriate there. Number   5  7  09:27, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

what an utter waste of time then eh. deary me.
 * Sorry about that. Editing Wikipedia is often a learning curve at the start – many of my early edits were removed as they weren't in accordance with guidelines/policies. Cheers, Number   5  7  10:30, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Yes I apologise for my tone, as you can imagine I am frustrated. So in your experience is there any way I can keep the page I have made or not? Surely there must be a way around it? 😔
 * No problem. With regards to keeping the article, I'm afraid not. As I mentioned above, I'd advise working on other articles that are deemed suitable for Wikipedia. Number   5  7  12:59, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

2017–18 Northern Football Alliance moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, 2017–18 Northern Football Alliance, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the confirms on the Articles for Creation template atop the page.
