Hello, I'm Edgar181. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. -- Ed (Edgar181) 22:12, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
Hi, 8hit. I found your article after you accidentally posted it on the Username policy talk page. I also saw that someone else tagged it for speedy deletion just a few minutes after you created the article. I'm afraid that I agree. It won't survive an articles for deletion discussion because the Loker Badminton Academy fails to meet Wikipedia's general notability standards as well as guidelines for organizations and companies. Bottom line, the article won't last long. But it can be recreated if (when?) the Loker academy meets those guidelines after attracting attention and getting in-depth coverage in independent reliable sources.
For now, I recommend that you:
- Move the article to your sandbox and work on it as a draft. Add citations to reliable sources as articles are published in independent publications.
- Add a short and neutral section about the academy to the Valerie Loker article citing the academy website. Note that the standards for a separate article are very high but primary sources may often be used in an existing article where the primary subject's notability is established.
- Create a redirect to the section of the Loker article so that readers searching for Loker Badminton Academy will find appropriate content. If/when the academy becomes notable per Wikipedia's meaning, the redirect can be replaced with a separate article.
If you need help, let me know. Just post below here or leave a note on my talk page. I added your talk page to my watch list. I'll try to answer within a day or so. Hope this is helpful, DocTree (ʞlɐʇ·ʇuoɔ) WER 01:55, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Loker Badminton Academy, a page you have created yourself. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Contest this speedy deletion and appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. - MrX 03:05, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
