A tag has been placed on Henley Octopush Club requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. CobaltBlueTony 14:19, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Badminton-stub and Badminton-team-stub
Hi Roy - these two templates have been speedily deleted, as they were created as if they were categories, and wouldn't have performed the task for which they were intended. Please, in future, if you wish to create stub templates, follow the instructions at WP:STUB, and propose them at WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals beforehand, so that they can be checked out for possible problems and then created properly!
