Copyright status of Greaseball Challenge
Hi, I left a message explaining the deletion at User talk:Nmatsukis. There were 2 main problems with your article: I hope my comments helped you to better understand the deletion :) -- lucasbfr talk 21:46, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The article did not explain why the Challenge was notable. That is a very important criteria all our articles must meet. The Notability Guidelines will explain to you our criteria better than I would ;). Namely it needs to have been the subject of significant outsider coverage.
 * The text of the article was taken from a website, making it a copyright violation. All text in Wikipedia is licensed under the GFDL license. That means that anyone can use this content, modify it, and even make money with it. This license is very restrictive and we can't accept material that might not be suitable. There are ways to release the content of http://www.greasecar.com/mnep.cfm under the GFDL, but most of the time you'd want to think twice before doing that :).
 * One last thing, it is considered a bad thing to write about something you are closely related to, as it seems to be the case here, since that leads to an obvious conflict of interest.
