Notability of University of Wisconsin- River Falls Dance Team
The article University of Wisconsin- River Falls Dance Team has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article, which appeared to be about a real person, individual animal, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. JohnCD (talk) 16:32, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Notability of student clubs
As an encyclopedia, Wikipedia is selective about subjects for articles. The criterion used is called Notability, and is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people not connected with the subject thought it significant enough to write substantial comment about? See also WP:Notability (summary)

Experience shows that student clubs and sports teams are very seldom able to show independent notability, and they are generally better covered by a mention within the University article. See College and university article guidelines, particularly the section Student life. JohnCD (talk) 16:38, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
