The article Leicester Regeneration Society has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it 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 assert notability 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. -FisherQueen (Talk) 11:08, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

What's your question? -FisherQueen (Talk) 11:18, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I was just wondering why my Leicester Regeneration Society page was deleted? I was planning to include a masterplan that a group of us have been working on, for the regeneration of the city of Leicester. I've never created a page on wikipedia before, so I'm assuming I've not met a guideline or something?

Would I be within the rules, to create a Leicester Regeneration page which mentions the Leicester Regeneration Society?
 * Have you read the message above? It has links to the relevant policies.  I'd be glad to help, but first you'll need to make it clearer whether this group meets the notability criteria for organizations.  Normally, organizations that are purely local in scope aren't groups that an international encyclopedia needs articles about. -FisherQueen (Talk) 11:23, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

That makes sense. Many thanks for your help...
