Speedy deletion nomination of Mississippi Mudsnakes


A tag has been placed on Mississippi Mudsnakes 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Response
To be included in Wikipedia, the subject needs to be notable. See WP:N. Also, Wikipedia is not an appropriate place to promote your organization. See WP:PROMO. I recommend taking a look at Your first article as well. Tchaliburton (talk) 21:41, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

Look at the links I included. Specifically, WP:N. It may also help to look at WP:ORG. In short, your hockey organization isn't notable because it lacks significant coverage. Tchaliburton (talk) 21:55, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

Read the links I've provided you. If you have specific questions about the Wikipedia policies I will answer them. Tchaliburton (talk) 22:51, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
