Re: Pots and pans
I did delete your article because it consisted of no encyclopedic content whatsoever. It would probably be a good idea for you to read up on things like Wikipedia's notability guidelines and the Criteria for speedy deletion to ensure you get to keep your articles.

 * That would be Mike Rosoft, but looking at the history of the page, it didn't seem like the group was particularly notable, and it was sort of an attack page. Maybe you should read up on policies and guidelines before reposting the article. --Mr. L e fty Talk to me! 01:53, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Exactly. Even if it wasn't originally meant as an attack page (speedy deletion criterion A6), it was an article about a club making no claim of notability or importance (criterion A7). - Mike Rosoft 11:15, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

I am afraid you are out of luck; Wikipedia is supposed to be an encyclopedia, and cannot include every local club (per What Wikipedia is not). Unless there is something that makes your club more significant than others (according to your article it is a club of male cheerleaders who make noise using pots, pans, and other kitchen equipment - which is not a claim of fame), it won't have an article on Wikipedia. - Mike Rosoft 09:16, 28 September 2006 (UTC) Thank you.

 * Rather than making threats, please actually have a look at:
 * the speedy deletion criteria
 * Wikipedia's notability guidelines, especially the proposed criteria for organizations.
