your society
Given that it does have copyight permission, the article is still not suitable, and I've listed it for speedy deletion on two grounds: If you can deal with these objections, according to our guide to writing Wikipedia articles and see our Business FAQ, and have 3rd party independent reliable published sources, print or online (but not blogs or press releases), then try again.
 * 1) the society is not notable--it does not have the general public significance outside of the immediate area that is necessary for an encyclopedia article. See WP:LOCAL.
 * 2) the article is essentially promotional, and thus not appropriate for an encyclopedia article.  See WP:SPAM
 * If not, I suggest you   add articles on important things in your area. all historic scheduled properties and areas, for example, are appropriate subjects. You can also include a photograph, if you take it yourself as say so according to our rules. DGG (talk) 16:17, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, and since the Colne Valley article only gets about 10 views a day, an article on the society would get even fewer. (At that low level, many of the page views are not even humans, but search engine bots and so forth.) I made an article on a cave complex in South Korea that has one million tourist visits a year, Hwanseon Cave. My article gets about 3 views a day . Phlegm Rooster (talk) 20:03, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
