A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Strays MC, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person, and which is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages: user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for businesses.

If you can indicate why the page is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of the page in question and leave a note on this page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Syrthiss (talk) 17:50, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

we are trying to get a page set up about our motorcycle club, — Preceding unsigned comment added by Strays MC (talk • contribs)


 * Ok, but we have two problems - (1, the lesser) you haven't made an article, you made a userpage and (2) if you want to have an article on your motorcycle club, you need to establish notability using reliable sources. Things like newspaper articles about your club and the good work it does.  If you can cover #2, we can move the page out to an article.  I hope this helps. Syrthiss (talk) 18:00, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
