You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Cambridge University Swimming and Water Polo Club (CUSWPC) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from cuswpc.co.uk/about-cuswpc. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. –Compassionate727 (T·C) 19:22, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
I have contacted CUSWPC and there should be an email confirm the right to use material from the CUSWPC website, in the very near future. Is this everything I have to do to have the CUSWPC page unblocked?(Swimmingguy2016 (talk) 19:44, 12 June 2016 (UTC))
That's apparently been done, so has the CUSWPC page definitely been deleted and will I just have to redo it? (Swimmingguy2016 (talk) 22:29, 12 June 2016 (UTC))
- If you actually have permissions from copyright holder and can supply them, you should be able to request to have the page undeleted. Otherwise, yes, you'll need to start over, without copying text from other sources, in any amounts. Write it in your own words. –Compassionate727 (T·C) 22:33, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Cambridge University Swimming and Water Polo Club (CUSWPC) 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 credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 22:15, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
Your article
editHi Swimmingguy2016. I suggest you create your article using the article wizard. That way, the article will be created in draft space and will give you ample time to work on it. Experienced editors will also offer feedback when you're ready. --NeilN talk to me 23:52, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
Thank you for the response, it is much appreciated. Is there any way for me to regain the content I have already typed up?, this is the third time in almost 24 hours, all my work has been deleted, and as I'm sure you can imagine it's become quite frustrating
- (talk page stalker) Although knowing how specific the topic is, you might not be able to make an acceptable article. See Wikipedia:Notability, which will address the biggest issue this article is likely to face. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 00:09, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
- Yes, I can recover it for you. Do you want me to put it in Draft space? And have you read WP:ORG? --NeilN talk to me 00:58, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
- Also, thanks for your patience. Most people leave after the first time. It's nice to still have you around. You may be interested in joining WikiProject Swimming, an area people interested in swimming use to coordinate efforts on swimming-related articles. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 13:07, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
Cheers, yeah it's a little frustrating but I know that you're only doing your job. Yeah I'd really appreciate it if you were able to recover it into the draft space. I have skimmed over the rules but I'll read them in depth ASAP, just been busy the last few days. I'll definitely have a look and think about going the above project. Thanks a million Swimmingguy2016 (talk) 13:58, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
- Okay, it's here Draft:Cambridge University Swimming and Water Polo Club (CUSWPC). Once the article has been improved to meet certain minimum standards, you or the reviewer can grab me or any other admin to get the page in articlespace unlocked. Happy editing! --NeilN talk to me 18:06, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
Thanks so much and will do Swimmingguy2016 (talk) 13:14, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
- Another admin moved it to Draft:Cambridge University Swimming and Water Polo Club --NeilN talk to me 13:17, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
Yeah found it, thanks again, the club is 150 years old so hopefully I should be able to meet the notability requirements Swimmingguy2016 (talk) 13:46, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
