Speedy deletion of National Alliance for Youth Sports
[edit]A tag has been placed on National Alliance for Youth Sports 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 company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.
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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Hitro 17:56, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit]Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to National Alliance for Youth Sports. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Just remember to view it as neither good or bad!

- Hey there. I have never edited the National Alliance for Youth Sports page before, but looking at your edits I can say that they are slightly promotional. As long as you provide reliable sources and keep a neutral point of view your edits are welcomed! If you have any questions, please feel free to leave me a message. --Gordonrox24 | Talk 16:42, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
- Hello. Wikipedia pages are not supposed to be promotional, they are supposed to provide info on any given topic, as we are an encyclopedia. As I said previously, as long as you can provide reliable sources and abide by the rules laid out at WP:POV your edits are very much appreciated.--Gordonrox24 | Talk 18:47, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
