Speedy deletion nomination of Goodminton


Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing inappropriate pages, such as Goodminton, is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

 * All right, I accept that it is not intended to deceive and so is not a hoax; but it is still not acceptable, and I have proposed it for deletion (formal notice below) because Wikipedia is not a place to promote new inventions - that's not what an encyclopedia is for. You will find the reasons explained in Wikipedia is not for things made up one day, the fundamental policy being WP:No original research which includes: "If no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article about it. If you discover something new, Wikipedia is not the place to announce such a discovery." The links in the Welcome message above will tell you more about Wikipedia.

Proposed deletion of Goodminton


The article Goodminton has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * this cites no references to indicate notability - Wikipedia is not for games made up one day.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
