January 5

[edit]

Can you please advise how we can have Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Riverside Rowing Club pass the verification. We have included a book reference and other links to organisations already on wiki.I looked at Adelaide Rowing Club which is on wiki (they are similar to us) for ideas but can't really see much difference? Thanks for any help you can offer. Star Eight (talk) 14:13, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  1. The Riverside Rowing Club's own website is not independent so we can't verify that the club is independetly normal from that reference.
  2. The "Rowing South Austrailia" reference is a listing of various clubs and not an in depth coverage of Riverside so does not really contribute to the notability.
  3. The Rowing Online reference appears to be a generic data listing page for the club and I suspect that the data is user entered or self submitted, which might violate the WP:SELFPUB rules
In general I see a non-notable club with no significant coverage from independent reliable sources. Surely there's some coverage in newspapers (and hopefully some online) that shows "what makes this athletic club special over other athletic clubs". Hasteur (talk) 21:59, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

My sister and I are trying to retrieve an article on our father, Professor Raymond W. Suchy. It was deleted on 12/14/13. We would like to edit the content to your specifications. We have not been able to link to the deleted article using the directions included. Please advise. Thank you.Arpistria (talk) 21:34, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like you got an answer at WP:REFUND so there's nothing really for us to do here. Your restored article is at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Raymond Suchy. Hasteur (talk) 21:52, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
