Speedy deletion of Brighton Sailing Club
A tag has been placed on Brighton Sailing Club 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guidelines for people and for organizations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you. &mdash; neuro  (talk)  20:51, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Lepani Nabuliwaqa, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Jim1138 (talk) 08:22, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

People often want to find a source for information found on Wikipedia. As most anyone can edit Wikipedia, people want verification for unusual information. This is the basis for wp:v. Significant content needs to be cited from reliable sources (RS). As blogs, facebook, and twitter can be edited by anyone and are not generally RS. If the content is not to significant ("He likes pizza"), blogs, etc. are generally acceptable. The more significant, controversial, outrageous the content, the more reliable the source should be. Unless you want to be on-call 24-7, I'd suggest you find a published source for your content ;) Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 04:17, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
