Proposed deletion of The Mount Players

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article The Mount Players, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Non-notable amateur theatre company. No reliable, independent sources asserting notability provided.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Welcome

Hello, If This Fails, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and have been reverted. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

There is a page about the verifiability policy that explains the policy in greater detail, and another that offers tips on the proper ways of citing sources. If you are stuck and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Please stop. If you continue removing Articles for deletion notices or comments from articles and Articles for deletion pages, as you did with The Mount Players, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. TRL (talk) 04:15, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop? How about you please stop with your big-headed assumptions? Yes, we are a small company, but since when did that mean we don't deserve a wikipedia. Please state in layman's terms exactly why you want this article detailed, and instead of burying me under jargon, you might want to offer some actual ways to improve my page. I don't know who think you are, TRL, but you are not in any position to judge the company for "notability". Please respond to this!

I am not attempting to bury you with jargon. Please, click the links to the wikipedia articles in the notes and welcome statements for clarification on the policies. The simple fact is that there must be citations to the page that are not just the website of the organization being written about. Please, do not target me in this situation. I understand you are frustrated, but follow the guidelines put in place by the community.--TRL (talk) 04:50, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 04:47, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of The Mount Players

A tag has been placed on The Mount Players requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} 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.
