Notability of Heidelberg High School JROTC
The article Heidelberg High School JROTC has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article, which appeared to be about a real person, individual animal, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

As a general rule of thumb, chapters of national organizations are not notable. This includes Boy Scout troops, fraternity chapters, Pop Warner football teams, and high school JROTC programs. There was nothing in the article to indicate why this school's JROTC is individually notable, so it was deleted. —C.Fred (talk) 19:14, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

 * If you think this JROTC unit deserves an article, please explain, here on your talk page, what the unit has done to make it a notable organization. Please provide reliable sources to back the claim up. —C.Fred (talk) 19:32, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
 * What sort of reef did you present? Surely a wreath would have been more appropriate. &mdash; RHaworth 19:59, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
