Speedy deletion nomination of Onward basketball


A tag has been placed on Onward basketball requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to 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 tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Singularity42 (talk) 18:16, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because many people asked for Upward basketball to go to the next level. Once this program was made, no one knew about it. If this program gets more publicity, it will become more popular. There are thousands of churches around the nation with this program, and there should be a wikipedia page for it, just as there is for Upward!Musicluver654 (talk) 18:21, 19 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi Musicluver654! Unfortunately, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and is not used for promotion.  A subject can only have an article if it is notable.  The guidelines for organizations can be found at WP:ORG.  If no one knows about the program yet, then it is not notable yet.  When it has been reviewed by other sources, then it might be notable.

 * I would like to back that up. Wikipedia isn't here to help people or organisations up the ladder. We record not the brand new or the up and coming, but the arrived (and the past it too...). Remember that Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a directory or a platform or soapbox for getting messages across. Peridon (talk) 18:31, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
