Speedy deletion nomination of Prescott Cup


Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Prescott Cup requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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 "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.

 * In this article you have not told us anything about the cup. From the lists of winners and runners up it appears to be a competition between schools. Without clicking on the links there is almost nothing to say in which country it takes place: I gather it's Kenya. But whether it's a debating competition, a football league, a cup for the best results in national maths exams, you don't tell us. I'm sorry, but it's a useless encyclopedia article.


 * It's a good idea to start every new article with the classic Wikiepdia "lead sentence": "The Prescott Cup is a xxx", where "xxx" tells us what the thing is and why we might want an encyclopedia article about it. "xxx" might be "annual Kenyan inter-school chess tournament" or something like that - what, where, etc.


 * There's a lot to learn about editing Wikipedia but it's an interesting journey - have fun editing. But this article, as it stands, is not a useful contribution to the encyclopedia. Pam  D  22:55, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
