Deletion
Hi, not sure what I did wrong, always admired Wikipedia for their community ethos and was simply trying to be a part of that. Many canoe clubs have a Wikipedia page, it's there any reason why Proteus can't? What did I do wrong? Is it the user name? Mentioning our Facebook page? Someone new to Wikipedia page creation might not know this. Please advise. 2A02:C7F:1F62:4700:DD2F:224B:E1B9:C37F (talk) 11:21, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

Describe changes
Hi thanks for getting back to me. Propose removal of Facebook page mention (was included innocently, on reflection not a good direction for Wikipedia), propose inclusion of links to press coverage received by Proteus Canoe Club, propose change of username which seems to have possibly been a problem, not sure why! 2A02:C7F:1F62:4700:DD2F:224B:E1B9:C37F (talk) 11:39, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
