Speedy deletion nomination of Universal Cheerleaders Association
Hello Cheerfreak913,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Universal Cheerleaders Association for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

 * Hello - I'm very sorry about this, and I don't want to discount your work or suggest the Association is not notable (it does seem as if it ought to be), but the article is almost entirely full of buzz words, ad-speak and promotional language such as how successful entrants win "the trip of a lifetime." In addition, all the sourcing is primary sourcing from the subject's own website. This is unfortunately not encyclopaedic. The article would need to be very extensively and fundamentally rewritten, from scratch, and from a neutral point of view. Wikipedia articles should not read like advertisements or endorsements for their subject, but describe them neutrally and without bias, with reference to third-party, preferably unaffiliated reliable sources.
