Lone Rangers Sports Club
Thanks for letting me know about the re-creation of the article.

I hate to say it but the article as it stands is not suitable for Wikipedia. It does not meet any number of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, including:
 * Verifiability - none of the claims made in the article have been verified. At Wikipedia we can't take your word (or my word for that matter) for any fact.
 * Notability - I can't see any evidence that the club is anything more than a social basketball team. You will need to provide multiple independent reliable sources supporting claims made regarding the notability of the team.
 * Advertising - The article reads as one long advertisement, especially when there is an explicit pitch "for interested youths to get involved".

I do not think there is any way the subject can be made suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, however you may want to get a second opinion at New contributors' help page (I tend to be fairly strict about meeting inclusion criteria, others may be less so). I won't tag the article for deletion now, but unless you find some reliable sources quickly, I don't like your chances of keeping the article on Wikipedia. Cheers and good luck, Mattinbgn\talk 08:00, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
