AfD nomination of Team touchdown
[edit]An article that you have been involved in editing, Team touchdown, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Team touchdown. Thank you.
Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. -- PhantomSteve (Contact Me, My Contribs) 09:51, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
- Can I just add, Articles for Deletion (AfD) are not votes - they are to form a concensus. Before commenting, please read Wikipedia:Notability, Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) and Wikipedia:Verifiability, which are some of our basic policies. Arguments on whether an article should be kept or deleted are generally based on these (and other) policies. Saying that the team is notable is not an argument - providing a link to a national newspaper article would be! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. -- PhantomSteve (Contact Me, My Contribs) 09:51, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of "Team / Touchdown"
[edit]A page you created, Team / Touchdown, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a club or other organization, but it does not indicate how it is important or significant, and thus why it should be included in an encyclopedia. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and the guidelines for organizations in particular.
You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.
Thank you. Falcon8765 (talk) 19:35, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
