Speedy deletion nomination of Buncombe County Young Republicans


A tag has been placed on Buncombe County Young Republicans 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 person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content or organised event, 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. —C.Fred (talk) 19:25, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

Why was my page deleted? We are an officially sanctioned group and our webpage backs up the fact we exist. I didn't cite it before I posted it, my mistake admittedly. What do I need to do to get Buncombe County Young Republicans back up? — Preceding unsigned comment added by YRViceChair (talk • contribs)


 * Local affiliates of national organizations are not generally notable; thus, Young Republicans are but not the Buncombe County group. Second, the general notability guidelines require significant coverage in multiple reliable sources for a subject to have an article. Coverage needs to be beyond that of just local interest—i.e., not the Asheville paper, but a regional or national publication. Finally, there are specific guidelines for notability of organizations, and the article didn't assert that any of them were met.


 * Does that answer your question, or do you need further assistance? —C.Fred (talk) 20:00, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
