Your submission at Articles for creation: THE GHANACOLL HALL OF FAME AWARD (January 14)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by MatthewVanitas was:

Sorry, not seeing any reason that one single award at a college needs its own page. This is written as a "About Us!!!" page, not as a neutral article. The only way we would accept a page about this award is if you can show that major news media frequently discuss this award. Is this award covered with its own article in major national newspapers? If not, then it's not an issue for a global audience. See WP:Notability for guidelines.

You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:THE GHANACOLL HALL OF FAME AWARD and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also get real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Speedy deletion nomination of GHANACOLL HALL OF FAME

Hello Lois2817,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged GHANACOLL HALL OF FAME for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. ubiquity (talk) 20:24, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Promotional Nature of GHANACOLL HALL OF FAME

The main reason I, and the moderator who actually deleted the article, saw your article as promotional, was its tone, which was promotional and non-encyclopedic, and its general lack of notability, as evidenced by the complete lack of references. Certainly, there are notable halls of fame, such as the National Baseball Hall of Fame. But the latter refers to a major world sport, followed literally by billions of people. I think you can see the difference between this and a local high school hall of fame. The National Baseball hall of fame article also has 37 independent references, demonstrating notability. If you can tone down the promotional tone, and provide some independent references, the article might stand. However, my recommendation to you would be to add a section on the Hall of Fame to the article on Ghana National College. Then it is likely no one will bother you. ubiquity (talk) 21:03, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You've added one newspaper article. Still not compelling evidence that this award is nationally famous. I strongly suggest you read WP:Notability which will give you a very clear idea of the level of sourcing you must supply.
