Proposed deletion of Orillia Hockey Club


The article Orillia Hockey Club has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * No sources cited, especially to verify claim of winning the Stanley Cup. This contradicts the Hockey Hall of Fame listings of Stanley Cup winners at http://www.hhof.com/LegendsOfHockey/jsp/SilverwareTrophyWinners.jsp?tro=STC

While all constructive 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.

 * Wikipedia's policy on verifiability is one of the core content polices here. Readers must be able to check that Wikipedia articles are not just made up. This means that all quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source using an inline citation. It is also important to note: even if you're sure something is true, it must be verifiable before you can add it. Merely adding something like "everyone forgot about the big win" is also insufficient for Wikipedia. We are asking for sources on this Orillia Hockey Club because, as mentioned above, this team is not listed on the Hockey Hall of Fame listings of Stanley Cup winners at http://www.hhof.com/LegendsOfHockey/jsp/SilverwareTrophyWinners.jsp?tro=STC Thank you.

Hello again. You may have just removed the content regarding the Stanley Cup, and the proposed deletion notice, but other deletion processes still exist. The article still needs sources cited. You may find a tutorial on how to do this at Tutorial/Citing sources (and if you have not already checked them out, you may find the entire tutorials at Tutorial). I must stress again that this is a crucial requirement. Because anyone can edit Wikipedia articles, readers must be able to check that they are not just made up. Otherwise, your article may eventually get posted on the Articles for Deletion boards, where the discussion will then be opened to the wider community of Wikipedia editors. Please take care of this matter as soon as possible. Thank you. Zzyzx11 (talk) 18:02, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
