Speedy deletion nomination of Olathe Math Battle


Hello. A tag has been placed on Olathe Math Battle 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 an organized event (tour, function, meeting, party, etc.), but it does not credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

September 2016
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Olathe South High School has been reverted. Your edit here to Olathe South High School was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://osmathhail.weebly.com/math-team.html) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 00:49, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

Notability and referencing
Please read WP:GNG about notability, and WP:RS about the reliable independent sources needed to prove the notability. Please note that the schools' sites are not independent, and cannot show notability, and that pages based on weebly, blogspot and wordpress are not regarded as reliable. Also not reliable are Facebook etc, YouTube etc, Twitter etc, and little value is placed on local newspapers (who often publish almost anything local to sell papers...). School and university activities rarely achieve the level of notability required for inclusion in an encyclopaedia. Peridon (talk) 18:12, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
