User talk:Virginia Country Club

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. Thank you. -- The Anome (talk) 10:27, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not interested in what an organization considers to be its own history, only in what others write about your club. The club is free to use the website you manage to tell about its own history. Feel free to show your superiors this message. 331dot (talk) 11:03, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I've blocked Vcc1909 as it is no better a username. 331dot (talk) 11:07, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

ok. so how does a country club like "Wilshire country club" have a Wikipedia page? is it because an individual created that posting? Virginia Country Club (talk) 11:16, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
 * See WP:OTHERSTUFF. Clubs may have a Wikipedia page if they are created by independent editors with no conflict of interest, summarising what reliable, third party sources say about that organisation. See WP:COI, WP:RS, WP:CITE, WP:PROMO. --Yamla (talk) 13:23, 4 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Organizations don't get an article just because they exist. Any company or organization (actually, any topic in general) must first be notable, as Wikipedia defines notability. This means that the topic must have already been the subject of significant writings by reliable and independent sources.


 * As already noted, Wikipedia has no interest in what an organization wishes to say about itself. Articles are neutrally worded summaries of third-party writings about the topic, written by individuals with no vested interest in the topic. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 20:25, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
