Notability of Minto Mingle
A tag has been placed on Minto Mingle requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Accounting4Taste: talk 22:40, 24 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your note. I'm afraid I have to disagree with your estimation of the notability of your group, which seems to me to be of strictly local interest.  At any rate, what would certainly be required is reliable sources that attest to the notability you're asserting, and I suggest that they should be sources from a broader geographic area -- for instance, national-level media that have covered the topic.  You may want to look at WP:Your first article and WP:Why was my article deleted? for information and hints on how you might proceed. Please don't hesitate to contact me again if I can be of any further assistance with Wikipedia policy.  Accounting4Taste: talk 01:11, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
