Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content. Blank pages are malicious to Wikipedia as they often confuse readers. If it is a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalized, please revert it to the last legitimate revision. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please use the deletion process for how to proceed.

Advice
Don't worry about the notice at the top of this page - vandalism, from which we suffer regrettably, often takes the form of blanking pages, and someone thought that is what had happened. An author is allowed to blank his own page, as long as no one else has contributed substantially, and that is taken as a request to delete. The links at the top of the page will tell you more about contributing - I recommend Your First Article. Note particularly that subjects have to be notable, which means showing that they have received "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". More detail at Notability (organizations and companies). It is best to show suitable references in your first edit, to reduce the possibility of speedy deletion - though, at the point where you blanked your article, it was not threatened with that: it had only been tagged that references were needed and that notability was doubtful. I should warn you that University societies often find difficulty in demonstrating notability, but it may not be impossible. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 20:37, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
