In particular, I would like to point out the policy about verifiability and original research in Wikipedia articles, which lead to the policy Deletion of vanity articles. For this reason, I have tagged the article Okahey as a speedy deletion candidate, using >

Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles. If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please place hangon on the page and make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. -- AJR | Talk 01:36, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Okahey article
Greetings. I deleted the Okahey article because, as AJR suggested on the article's talk page, there wasn't anything about the group that made it notable. Your later edits to assert notability based on the credo of the club is insufficient. If the club has been the subject of press articles, been involved in some activity that has been widely reported, had famous (at the time they were members) members, etc. then there is some basis for a notability claim.

I created a userspace sub-page for you that contains the content you created for the page. You may find this page at User:Blackbear2/Okahey. Nobody will delete that page unless you request it to be deleted. This will allow you to work on the article, improving it and including basis in notability, perhaps a photograph, etc. If you would like help with this, I'd be happy to help you. Just let me know at my talk page. All the best, --Durin 14:22, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
