Welcome!

Hello, Wanstrsw, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Whitehousebrothers, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type helpme on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

Speedy deletion nomination of Whitehousebrothers


A tag has been placed on Whitehousebrothers requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

Notability
Rather than delete the page, I have "userfied" it - moved it into your user space at User:Wanstrsw/Whitehouse Brothers where you can develop it. What it needs is independent references to meet Wikipedia's notability requirement, which means showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." More at WP:Notability (organizations and companies). The point is that we don't make judgements about what is important or significant: we ask, have other people, independent of the subject, thought it important or significant enough to write about? When the article is ready, consider posting at WP:Requests for feedback before moving it back to the main encyclopedia.

If use of Wikipedia for your project was suggested by an instructor, please ask him/her to read WP:School and university projects and User:Jbmurray/Advice. Such projects can be very worthwhile, but need proper preparation.
