Speedy deletion nomination of Alpha Theta Gamma
Hello Jscott.atg8,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Alpha Theta Gamma for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 13:49, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

Your article
Despite your plea, I deleted it. This was because it would have needed a complete rewrite anyway. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, and here we don't use terms like 'excited' in articles, and definitely not the first person 'we' and 'our'. Encyclopaedia articles are written ABOUT subjects, not BY them. This is why I added G11 advertising or promotion to the deletion reason. Please read WP:COI about conflict of interest - Wikipedia editors are supposed to be here for the good of the encyclopaedia, and editing about subjects they are very close to puts them in conflict with that. Please read WP:GROUP, or WP:CORP if the Inc. denotes a business, and WP:RS about the reliable independent sources needed to prove the notability. Getting an article here is not automatic, unlike getting a page at Facebook. Quite a few sororities and fraternities don't have articles, so don't be disappointed if you don't succeed. You won't be the only one. I advise reading some established articles to get the tone required, and if you DO find someone getting 'excited' and first-personal, please let me know. (On talk pages, it's different, of course. Policies and articles must be in grey and unenthusiastic style.) Peridon (talk) 15:44, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
