Speedy deletion of Cross country croquet
A tag has been placed on Cross country croquet 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 notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guidelines for people and for organizations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

 * Hi, thank you for your message. If I remember rightly the article in question did not assert its notability outside one group of people.  Have a look at Notability for the notability guidelines on articles such as this. -- Roleplayer (talk) 17:20, 8 March 2008 (UTC)


 * As it says in the above policy, sometimes you just have to face it that not every subject can be included in Wikipedia. I am sure there are lots of versions of croquet out there, just as there are likely to be people who play the same version as you without realising it, however without the verifiable third party sources to show that it is a genuine and notable sport, there isn't a great deal that can be done about it.  Sorry. -- Roleplayer (talk) 20:20, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
