Speedy deletion nomination of Jeepspeed

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Jeepspeed 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 club, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. jsfouche ☽☾Talk 01:27, 5 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Jeepspeed, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. jsfouche ☽☾Talk 01:48, 5 December 2010 (UTC)Reply


I have added multiple magazine and book external links (and a lot more to come), am I on the right track to prove significance? Jkrell (talk) 03:26, 5 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

The article is looking better with the addition of references, however, the references really need to be "inline" with the text. In other words, the references need to be for what is written in the article, not just about the subject in general. I can help you if you let me know which references go where. Also, I'm going to remove the CSD tag since there does seem to be material to establish importance. jsfouche ☽☾Talk 03:34, 5 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

I think I need some assistance to properly reference "inline"...I'm not quite sure I understand can you modify one for me as an example and I can clean up from there? Jkrell (talk) 03:37, 5 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Take a look at the first paragraph. The information about the creation of the organization is in that book. So I added the ref tags on either side to make it inline. jsfouche ☽☾Talk 04:00, 5 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

what is significant?

edit

{{help me}} what is considered important or significant when it comes to an organization? To many grassroots racers and adventurers the Jeepspeed organization is important and very significant.

See this page. An organization is notable if it has been covered by multiple independent publications, i.e. news, magazines, books, academic journals. This page is a bit simpler and more general than my first link. /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 02:14, 5 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Jeepspeed has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.facebook.com/pages/Jeepspeed/157043691003541?v=photos#!/pages/Jeepspeed/157043691003541. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. an image file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 04:51, 5 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
