Speedy deletion nomination of Students Supporting Wikipedia
A tag has been placed on Students Supporting Wikipedia 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 a club, 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 guidelines for people and for organizations. 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), 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Thanks, TTGL | Talk to me! 22:23, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Message regarding deletion of Students Supporting Wikipedia
Hello there! I just wanted to leave you a message about the tagging of Students Supporting Wikipedia for deletion. I'd like to start off by saying that such a group at a university to raise donation money for Wikipedia is greatly appreciated by the entire Wikipedia community. However, one of the key concepts of Wikipedia is that all of our articles be written on notable topics; that is, that they deserve to be mentioned in Wikipedia. While your group is, in my opinion, a good one, it (unfortunately) has to meet the same criteria for inclusion as any other group that aims to have a Wikipedia article written about them. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. --Nick—Contact/Contribs 22:28, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
