Speedy deletion nomination of Mizzou Hydrogen Car Team

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 Mizzou Hydrogen Car Team 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 an organization or company, 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. VQuakr (talk) 00:13, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Re your message: I have userfied the article per your request to User:Jonathanno14/Mizzou Hydrogen Car Team. To establish the team's notability, you would need to include references to articles about the team. For example, if a local news organization covered their work. Setting a new record may make the team notable enough, but you would need to provide a reference for that. If the team won a national or world competition, that might also establish their notability. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 18:42, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Re your message: That reference would help, but the depth of the coverage is not very deep so the article would likely need additional references to establish its notability. You would incorporate references into the article by using them to backup claims about the team: records, competitions competed in, competitions won, etc. It is not quite comparable, but if you read the article on Stanley (vehicle), you can see how references were incorporated into that article. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 20:47, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Re your message: The best way to receive feedback would be to request so at Wikipedia:Requests for feedback. Once you have completed the article to a state that you believe is ready, you can make a request there. -- Gogo Dodo (talk)

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Mizzou Hydrogen Car Team a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.
