Speedy deletion of Hoop angelz
Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted. There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. ttonyb1 (talk) 05:35, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Hoop angelz 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guidelines for people and for organizations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. ttonyb1 (talk) 05:35, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Hello and how to create an article
Hi Latrobe, welcome to Wikipedia -- sorry your first article got deleted, and thanks for leaving a message. I recommend making it in your user space while you are working on it : at User:Latrobe 12/Hoop angelz for instance. Then ask some other wikipedians who edit similar articles for help in making it notable. Generally you won't be able to add a WP article about something until it's in use by thousands of people and has been written about in some mainstream media - newspapers, reports, or books.

You'll also learn more about creating new articles if you contribute to other parts of the site... see below for a long list :) Cheers, +sj  +  05:54, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
