Speedy deletion nomination of Pelicans FC

A tag has been placed on Pelicans FC 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guidelines for people and for organizations. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 19:44, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As an amateur club in a local league, Pelicans FC simply does not meet our notability requirements. It is highly unlikely that anything you write will overcome that fact. Unless you can show through references to independent, reliable sources which indicates how this team is notable, I'n afraid you're out of luck. As for your assertion that other teams of similar stature have their own articles, it is probable that they play in higher-level organizations, or somehow achieved fame through some singular act or event. The existence of articles about other apparently-similar subjects does not justify the existence of any particular article. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 02:35, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
