Proposed deletion of Wisconsin's Badger State Spelling Bee


The article Wisconsin's Badger State Spelling Bee has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern:
 * No evidence of any notability. This type of event at State level is very rarely notable. No sources

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This is very upsetting......I had been working on my Wikipedia page titled:

Wisconsin's Badger State Spelling Bee

And when I checked for my page, linked here, it was suddenly deleted, why? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisconsin%27s_Badger_State_Spelling_Bee#List_of_winners

I had been adding more and more information and references since I had established this spelling bee page....why was it deleted? When I first put the page on I did not have every winner's name, age, hometown, and the winning word....I had been including more verified researched information as much as I could when I had time.

Please email me to explain why it was removed.....and how to get it back on Wikipedia...ok? I am not a computer person or familiar with how it all works on Wikipedia....but at least give me the courtesy of telling me it was to be removed and why.....and how I can return it now that I spent so much time looking at over 200 Wisconsin newspapers on microfilm to get the correct information for my page.

 * I'm not going to email you. This is what talk pages are for, as I've already told you. As for "at least give me the courtesy of telling me it was to be removed and why", I'm not going to explain to you yet again why what the problems were with your articles. See my edit from more than a week ago and more than two weeks ago on your other named account . You knew what the problems were, you knew the article was being considered for deletion (you were obviously aware of it since you copied the content of the AFD onto a talkpage), I told you that the AFD was the place to discuss the article, I told you that article space was not the space to attempt o develop an article that was not ready, and I told you twice that if you could not show the notability of the event that it would be a waste of waste of your time to continue to add more yearly results.
 * The admin who deleted the article might be willing to restore a copy of the article for you to work on, but not to article space. I would suggest that you find reliable sources showing the notability of the event before asking to have the article restored. Meters (talk) 02:45, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

Wisconsin's Badger State Spelling Bee
Concerning your edit
 * 1) Don't copy material from the AFD into the article. If you have something to say about the AFD then say it in the AFD. Don't talk in an article.
 * 2) Don't add your personal email address.
 * 3) It's not "your" article. You don't get to decide what it is called, or what it does or does not contain. Se WP:OWN.
 * 4) Other editors are not going to send you an email before touching the article. That's not how Wikipedia works. If you want to control the content then don't add it to Wikipedia. Every time you save an edit you get a notice that says "Work submitted to Wikipedia can be edited, used, and redistributed—by anyone—subject to certain terms and condition."
 * 5) If you start off by saying the bee has been held since 1949, but start off your list of winners in the 1920s, you should not be surprised if someone questions it. If the bee started in 1949 the earlier winners were not associated with this bee and don't belong in this article. If the earlier bees were the same event but under a different name then your lede is completely wrong, and this bee did not start in 1949.
 * 6) "planning to write more of introduction information and detailed history, will do that later" Not OK. If an article is not ready for article space immediately it should not be started in article space at all.
 * 7) Don't make a new copy of an article because you decide to change the name. That's why we have the ability to move articles.
 * 8) You seem to be missing the point about not having any sources about the bee itself. If you don't have independent reliable sources showing the notability of the bee itself then Wikipedia does not need an article about it. I told you this more than a week ago on your other talk page User talk:JRWisconsin. Ignoring the problem or simply saying that there are no such references is not going to help. If you cannot show that this event meets WP:EVENT there's no point in wasting your time adding more yearly results. Meters (talk) 22:35, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

Hello. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to Wikipedia. This means that editors do not own articles, including ones they create, and should respect the work of their fellow contributors on Miss Wisconsin's Outstanding Teen pageant. If you create or edit an article, remember that others are free to change its content. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. This is not your article, and it is never appropriate to add your personal contact information to an article, whether you contributed to it or not. Meters (talk) 20:05, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
