Helpme

I may be giving up on this but can someone please tell me how I make an encyclopedia type reference page to a BMW race team that will not get deleted or accused of being advertising, I'm really lost here and getting frustrated. This page is the only one I've done on here and is in no more ways an advertisement to the race team than any other rock bands page, other race teams page, etc. I've ammended this thing twice now trying to remove anything that might cross the line but I'm at a loss now as to why its not good. People just keep refering me back to the rules which I appear to be following.

OK, I just did a search for another team in our series, turner motorsports, and I don't see much of any difference between what I listed and whats on their page, why is mine considered blatant advertisement? madsedanMadsedan 17:19, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What you need are sources. Just add links to two or three magazine or newspaper articles about this team, and that'll be enough to avoid deletion. All that's needed is to show how this team is notable- then we can rewrite any advertising tone that may exist in the article.
