Articles for deletion nomination of Hamilton Joes

I have nominated Hamilton Joes, 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/Hamilton Joes. 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. Tyrenon (talk) 04:07, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You can participate in the deletion discussion by following the link Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hamilton Joes. Deletion is by no means assured - that's why there's a discussion, as the guidelines for amateur teams of this kind aren't well defined. In discussing deletions, it's best to avoid the argument that other stuff like it exists - you should address this article and why it's important. Also, it would be extremely helpful to provide references to the team in independent media, preferably of regional or national standing, that describe the organiztion's importance. Keep in mind that we see dozens of new articles on amateur teams a week, and most are deleted - yours doesn't exactly fit that particular pattern, and your insights are welcome.
