Hello, and welcome to editing Wikipedia. I hope you have a successful time here, but unfortunately there have been problems with the first article you have created, Aylesbury Rugby Football Club. Firstly, the article appeared to be about a fairly ordinary local amateur club, and gave no indication that it was significant enough to be included. Wikipedia does not have articles about just anything, but only about subjects which meet Wikipedia's notability standards. Secondly, the article was unambiguously promotional in tone, clearly intending to give the reader that the club is a worthwhile thing, but Wikipedia requires articles to be written from a neutral point of view. Thirdly, the content of the article has previously appeared both at http://heyevent.uk/venue/yc5u54hddpwlsa and on Facebook, meaning that posting it was a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policy, and very probably also of copyright law. For those three reasons the article has been deleted.

If you would like to contribute to Wikipedia on other topics, you are of course very welcome to do so, but if your only interest is in publicising your club, then Wikipedia is not the right place to do it. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 13:22, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
