Speedy deletion nomination of 9th of Foot (Living History Group)
A tag has been placed on 9th of Foot (Living History Group) 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 an organization or company, 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. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

9th of Foot
I'd like to encourage you to recast the article and try again, bearing in mind a few things:
 * Wikipedia is not a free webhost for your organization
 * The article should be written as an encyclopedia article, with a clear, concise discussion of the organization
 * The article must make clear how the organization is notable by reference to coverage in independent third party media
 * It should not include FAQ's, Q&A's, contact information, promotion, superlatives or other non-encyclopedic content
 * It cannot be a cut-and-paste of the ninthoffoot.web.officelive.com site, partly because it's a copyright violation ("all rights reserved" is incompatible with the CC-by-SA copyright found here) and because the aims of the website and of Wikipedia are not quite the same. What's fine on your website isn't necessarily an encyclopedia article.

Surely the 9th of foot has been covered in newspaper articles, maybe in Hartford, Providence or Boston media? Those are the kinds of sources you should cite and use to establish notability, since WIkipedia exists to document notice obtained through such media and other reliable sources.

 * Once again, please consider the points made above. The draft on your userspace is not in the style expected of an encyclopedia article.  Your webmaster can, of course, provide appropriate permission to the OTRS team that handles that here, but a verbatim copy of the website, with a question-and-answer format, is not suitable for an encyclopedia and is liable to be considered for deletion as such.  I urge you to review Wikipedia's Manual of Style, and to understand the notability guidelines,a s they are essential for a successful article.  Your organization is, I believe, worthy of an article, provided you can substantiate the organization's notability.  However, you must resist the urge to treat Wikipedia as a free webhost, but rather to write a concise encyclopedia article. I will be happy to help you with critiques or formatting, notability, and so on. [[User:Acroterion| Acroterion  (talk)  03:35, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
