The page you blanked was a page of which youe were was sole contributor. I understand it to have been asking for deletion, & there's nothing wrong with doing so. (but next time just add {{db-self}} to the top of the age. You have since created it as Douglas Baptist Church, Douglas, Cork, which is very unlikely to standup to afd, just like other local churches.; if you do not have significant 3rd party sources for notability, I suggest asking for its deletion also. Please check WP:N for the standards, so you will not fruitlessly work on articles which have no real chance of being accepted here. DGG (talk) 02:09, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Notability of Douglas Baptist Church, Douglas, Cork

A tag has been placed on Douglas Baptist Church, Douglas, Cork requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, 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.  Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 23:14, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
