User talk:Dgscapin

A tag has been placed on McGuire's Running Club requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 17:04, 5 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Per Wikipedia's notability criteria for inclusion, reliable, verifiable sources must be cited. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 17:15, 5 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I've placed the inuse tag on the article to give you time to address the requirements for this article. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 17:25, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

To allow you some time to work on this article, I've moved it into your userspace at User:Dgscapin\McGuire's Running Club - which means that it's now out of the encyclopedia and in your account's space. This will allow you some time to develop it. I'd suggest reviewing Introduction and Your first article for some pointers.

Just to let you know, it seems unlikely that this article will meet the criteria of notability used here to determine if an article is appropriate for inclusion here. That doesn't mean that the club hasn't been important, but it may not be encyclopedic. But if you can find appropriate references proving that it is, be sure to add them in. When you feel ready, you may move the article back to its original location.

Good luck, and feel free to ask questions if you need help. Tijuana Brass (talk) 02:53, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Irish Running Club
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Irish Running Club, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add db-author to the top of Irish Running Club.
