HAMS Harm Reduction Network edit

 

A tag has been placed on HAMS Harm Reduction Network requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it 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 page (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. Mdsummermsw (talk) 20:49, 7 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Please note: you shouldnt just recreate a page if it is deleted. There is a proper reviewing policy for deleted articles; recreating articles simply means they have the same content, ergo the same reason for being deleted yet again. Ironholds (talk) 06:53, 14 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

HAMS edit

You have to make sure it doesn't read as an advertisement, and that it is a notable organisation. Look at WP:NOTABILITY (under "companies" or "organisations" and see if it fulfills the criterion. Ironholds 17:53, 26 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
