Cumbria Blood Bikes article
Hello. Thanks for writing this article, but I'm afraid it might not be right for Wikipedia.


 * The first problem is that it's written in promotional language, which isn't allowed on Wikipedia. This is a decent article on a similar subject - you'll see that it reads differently.
 * The next problem is that it seems to just copy parts of the organisation's copyrighted description of itself, which isn't allowed on Wikipedia.
 * There are no citations. Look at it this way: if I wrote a Wikipedia article on myself claiming thatt I'm awesome, handsome totally not wasting my time on Wikipedia etc, but if I can't find citations on that, it's going to get deleted myself pretty fast (especially given that you shouldn't write a wikipedia article on yourself).

I recommend changing this asap, because with content like this on here, the article could get marked for deletion by anybody, any second. In addition, I'm not clear that this organisation is notable enough to have a Wikipedia article on it. That's a link to a guideline on the topic, but basically it needs to have had coverage in media. I also recommend breaking it down into sentences and paragraphs, but above all you want to take out all the promotional material and add citations to prove that the organisation deserves a Wikipedia article.

Creating Wikipedia articles is hard, because a lot of things aren't acceptable topics for Wikipedia articles since it's just not possible to tell whether they really exist or at least matter not, and I realise that this can be frustrating. In future, I recommend putting a draft on your sandbox and contacting someone (say from the teahouse project or from the articles for creation process) to read through it and decide if it's worth going further.

Speedy deletion nomination of Cumbria Blood Bikes


A tag has been placed on Cumbria Blood Bikes, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for 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 "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.
