The article Bobby Anderson Invitational has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article, which appeared to be about an organised event, 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. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 15:00, 18 June 2017 (UTC)


 * 1) Please don't continue to create articles on subjects which do not satisfy Wikipedia's notability standards. I am perfectly willing to believe that you originally came to Wikipedia honestly believing that creating an article about your golf competition would be acceptable, but you did so again after it had been explained to you that that was a mistake.
 * 2) A Wikipedia article needs to be written from a neutral point of view, and there is no place for commentary or personal opinions such as that someone "produced some stunning golf", that a team produced "stunning display ", and so on. That kind of writing may be suitable in journalism, but it is not appropriate for an encyclopaedia. Also, such language as "to continue providing the top level of competition and entertainment" amounts to promotional editing, which is not permitted by Wikipedia policy.
 * 3) My advice to new editors is that it is best to start by making small improvements to existing articles, rather than creating new articles. That way any mistakes you make will be small ones, and you won't have the discouraging experience of repeatedly seeing hours of work deleted. Gradually, you will get to learn how Wikipedia works, and after a while you will know enough about what is acceptable to be able to write whole new articles without fear that they will be deleted. Over the years I have found that editors who start by making small changes to existing articles and work up from there have a far better chance of having a successful time here than those who jump right into creating new articles from the start.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to introduce inappropriate pages to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. If you need guidance on how to create appropriate pages, try using the Article Wizard. I have tried to explain to you what the problems are, and have offered you advice in the hope of helping you to learn how to contribute in ways which are acceptable in terms of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and I still hope that you will be willing to learn to edit within Wikipedia's standards, but there has to be a limit to how often you are allowed to just keep on recreating what you by now know is not an acceptable article.
