Speedy deletion nomination of Rhodes Knights Rugby F.C.


A tag has been placed on Rhodes Knights Rugby F.C. 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 a club, 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 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. Ben Ben (talk) 18:37, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, but...
It wasn't a question of permission. You don't need permission from anyone or anything to put an article on Wikipedia. You do need to fit in with the policies, though. The different language Wikipedias have different rules, and I don't know the Greek one well enough to know what counts as notable there. (I've edited on about a dozen different languages so far, but not the Greek - at least, I can't remember editing there. I've probably visited it a few times...) Here, amateur sports clubs are not particularly notable unless they have a history that has gained them plenty of coverage. A club founded last year would not have had much time yet to get this. Apart from that, things like "We train every Monday, Wednesday and Friday and we invite you to to come and sneak a peak of the game" are regarded here as advertising, and are not allowed. We insist that our policies WP:SPAM and WP:NPOV are followed. Spam is advertising, and NPOV is neutral point of view. Good luck with the club, and if you have an article at the Greek Wikipedia, stick to that until you can comply with our policies. Peridon (talk) 20:12, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
