Speedy deletion of We Are North Melbourne

A tag has been placed on We Are North Melbourne, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

AfD nomination of We Are North Melbourne

I have nominated We Are North Melbourne, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/We Are North Melbourne. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Mattinbgn\^talk 21:05, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

WANM

The problem with the WANM article is that is about a group that has no independent notability of its own outside NMFC. However, there is the makings of a good article in the whole saga of the NMFC and the proposed move to Gold Coast. That article would focus on the event not the organisation and would still allow the story of WANM to be told, in the context of the broader issues. Wikiproject Australian Football League may be able to help out. Cheers, Mattinbgn\^talk 08:05, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
