Vinny Faherty
Hello, and thanks for adding information to the Vinny Faherty article. I've removed your addition, because, as I'm sure you'll understand, we can't publish claims about living people without verification from reliable sources. A name underneath a team photo isn't enough to connect Vinny Faherty the footballer with the All-Ireland u-21 hurling final. If you can find reliable sources which confirm them to be the same person, then please re-add the information. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 17:52, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Swinford Golf Club


A tag has been placed on Swinford Golf Club, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

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; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Terrillja talk  20:18, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Swinford Golf Club
I've moved the article into your userspace at User:Sallycinim/Swinford Golf Club draft to give you a chance to rewrite and make sure it complies with WP:GNG and WP:NPOV and has reliable references WP:RS. (That's general notability, neutral point of view, and reliable sources.) You can't use text 'straight from' the book - that's copyright and we can't have it here. Only if the copyright is releases as detailed in WP:COPYVIO (guess what that one is?) could it be used -m but it's too promotional anyway. Get some references together - I can't remember what you had, but they seemed to be all from the same place - not from your own site, blogs or forums and let me know on my talk page. Then will be time for rewrite. Get the notability sorted first. I've copied the contents of the article's talk page to here. You can keep or discard as you please. BTW when posting on talk pages, please sign with ~ - you don't do it in articles, of course. Peridon (talk) 21:24, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Copied from Talk:Swinford Golf Club
This article is factual and is straight out of the Swinford Jubliee book.Please do not delete it. Feel free to contact me for your reasons for deletion. The golf club website contains more of the information and photo's and as I say this artcile is not intended to promote the Golf Club. Its a factual representation of the golf club to date.


 * "a club which has celebrated the 75th anniversary of its founding we can certainly look back with pride on reaching such a notable milestone in our history. Like all success stories, we begin at the birth of our club and over the next few pages we reprint from the Golden Jubilee booklet published in 1972." Is just one example of blatant promotional text. Just because something is factual doesn't mean that it is written in a neutral manner, as Wikipedia requires. -- Terrillja talk  20:40, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Give me time to redo the article.

Swinford Golf Club (1922-Present)
The history of Swinford Golf Club has been well documented with the publishing of the Anniversary booklets of 1972 and 1997. The following are exerts from these archives.

In 1922 Swinford G.C. was affiliated to the Golfing Union of Ireland. Since then the club has celebrated its 75th anniversary of its founding in 1998.

Brabazon Park (1840-1923)
The story of Swinford Golf Club began in Brabazon Park, the seat of a minor, though well-connected family of the landed gentry. Sir William Brabazon, who died in 1840, was M.P. for Mayo. He was succeeded by his nephew, Major Hugh Brabazon. Shortly after Major Brabazon's death in 1864 the family departed for England. The last of the Brabazon's to visit Swinford was Colonel Sir John Palmer Brabazon who came in 1877 with his sisters for a few days. He was a close friend of Winston Churchill who described him as "one of the brightest military stars in London society". He was also destined to be Swinford's last landlord. The Congested Districts Board acquired the estate from him in the early years of this century. He died in Switzerland in 1923. The Brabazons are today remembered in the Park where the Golf Course is situated which is called after them and by the Brabazon Cup which is played for annually.
