Speedy deletion nomination of Robert Morris University RFC

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Robert Morris University RFC requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. —C.Fred (talk) 23:39, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

About File:Student Center.jpg

I'm curious about File:Student Center.jpg. Can you describe either how you took that photograph, or what software you used to draft the building? The picture has an interesting look to it. —C.Fred (talk) 23:48, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Especially since it looks copied from the architects' website [1]. —C.Fred (talk) 23:49, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not upload the image you have been uploading to File:Student Center.jpg. It is a copyrighted image, as noted above.

Um..

For some reason, you keep adding an incorrect {{hangon}} tag to Robert Morris University RFC. I'm not sure why you're doing this because the tag has already been added to the article. Please don't forget to state your reason as to why you want us to 'hang-on' in the article's talk page. Thanks. -petiatil ^{»user»speak} 01:00, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well its because I dont know what the heck Im doing and Im completely frustrated at why these is even an issue.

I've cited that the club exists with links to the university's website and articles written about the club. All pictures have been taken by me. The text was written by our team historian Brice Fritts... You have a category called "University and college rugby union clubs in the United States"

I dont get it.

Hangon templates

As a reminder, the {{hangon}} template goes immediately below the related speedy deletion template, not at the bottom of the article. There is already a hangon template in place at Robert Morris University RFC, so your attempts to add a second one ([2] [3] [4]) have been reverted. —C.Fred (talk) 01:01, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's because there are two requirements for all articles: notability and verifiability.

Notability means that the subject is significant or important enough to have its own article. There are specific guidelines for some categories of entities (people, bands and musicians, organizations, athletes…). In other cases—well, really, in all cases—the general notability guideline applies: a subject should have been covered in multiple, independent, reliable sources to be notable. Independent is the hangup in this case, as all the sources you've cited are published by the team, a team member, or the university (rmu.edu)—and none of them are notable. Independent sources would be newspapers (other than the campus paper), magazines, ESPN.com, etc.

Verifiability means that the claims in the article can be verified with a reliable source. In some cases, self-publishes sources can be used for certain information in articles. The general rule is that independent sources should be used. This is especially true since, based on your user name, you are a member of the team and have a conflict of interest.

Finally, remember that just because a category exists, that doesn't mean anything that's in the category can have an article. At the extreme, look at Category:Living people. The vast majority of people in the world are not notable and should not have articles written about them.

I know it's a bit confusing. However, you're always welcome to ask questions, and I or any other editor on Wikipedia will be glad to assist you. —C.Fred (talk) 01:24, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Im sorry but this is complete bullshit. You just deleted the page instea of helping me fix it... Where are the guidelines saying that the team needs to be around for a certain amount of years or have a certain amount of articles written on it to be credible. It sounds like a bunch of nerds who got beat up by a rugby player didnt like that we had our own page, YET there are 20 other college rugby clubs on your website. And I guarantee those clubs had their own alumni and team write their history... and yet there they stand. I hope you're running around deleting the rest of the rugby "articles". Way to make up your own rules on the fly for some, but for others you'll let the same stuff pass. And Im sorry but none of you have done anything in this world and yet you have your own pages telling me about yourself. Where are the articles written on you? This was bullshit.

You've been provided with links to the relevant guidelines: WP:N (definition of notability), WP:ORG (notability of organizations), WP:GNG (general notability guidelines for all articles). You've been reminded that other stuff exists and that the deletion discussion is about the merits of the RMU article and not other articles. I'd advise you to go back and reread those guidelines.

You may also want to review the guidelines on remaining civil during discussions. I know it's frustrating, but that's no reason to make personal attacks against other editors. Such edits could lead to your account being sent to the Wikipedia version of the sin bin. —C.Fred (talk) 12:49, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
