Speedy deletion nomination of Aberystwyth University Octopush Club


A tag has been placed on Aberystwyth University Octopush Club 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 a club, 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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Eeekster (talk) 02:01, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for introducing me to a new sport
I'd never heard of octopush before. Sorry about the stuff above. It looks like somebody accidentally marked your article as having a problem it doesn't have. I left a note on the article talk page and an administrator took the Speedy Deletion notice down. I hope you are still here and planning to finish your article.

I would suggest adding sources (references) to the article as a priority. Wikipedia has this thing called "notability" that they use to decide if a topic deserves to be in an encyclopedia. Here's the guideline for sports notability but don't worry too much about every detail. The team went to the championships so you can probably list some newspaper coverage as a reference. Or maybe there's an official listing somewhere of teams that made the championship. You want several sources like that if you can get them. Just don't use things like blogs, myspace pages, or the teams's own web page as sources. You want official looking stuff by people not on the team.
