No. I tried multiple times to the individuals who denied the page and every single time I was not able to get a post on their talk page. Either their userpage was not working or it was both my laptop, PC and mobile phone. Yet, through all these "talk' post, not once have I received a proper response to my query, why was the page up for a speedy deletion when it was cited by another approved wiki entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jennythebenny (talk • contribs) 09:44, 11 June 2010
Speedy deletion nomination of San Diego Floorball
editA tag has been placed on San Diego Floorball requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a club, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guidelines for people and for organizations. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 08:11, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
San diego floorball.
editAlso, one should note that each admin has there own entry... Can someone tell me how this is relevant to this site? Having said that any one should be able as long as they submit money should be allowed their own entry.
Let me ask Ron Livingston for advice.. considering how well you handle a false report and mine was factual.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Jennythebenny (talk • contribs) 09:05, 11 June 2010
- See Wikipedia:Contact us. Besides this the "admin entries" are userpages which are intended for editorial communication. Besides this i would point you to our notability, verifiability and reliable sources policy if you intend to write a page. These are the criteria that have to be met if you wish to write a page. Money or bribes are explicitly not a factor for keeping a page. Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 09:30, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Hello Again
editHi again JennytheBenny,
Apparently you replied to me shortly after I put the welcome on this page. A few points:
- It is explained above in the notice under "Speedy deletion nomination of San Diego Floorball" why your article was deleted. Notability seems to be the issue. If we didn't have such guidelines then Wikipedia, which is an Encyclopedia, would drown under many 100,000s of articles that are about, as an example, a persons pet poodle, and how cute it looks when dressed up. Trivia like that are deleted on a constant basis every minute. nb I have not seen your original article, so I am not commenting on it's notability.
- It would be easier if you replied beneath what I say. (click on the [edit] button on the Right side of the section heading). If you want a section with a new heading, click on the "New section" tab at the top of the page.
- Remember all editors on Wikipedia are volunteers, we come and go as, like you, we have things to do in real life. You cannot expect a quick answer to enquiries, though you might, you might also have to wait until the editor concerned is on-line again.
- We are also all over the world so our time zones are different. I am in Australia and it is after 3:10 AM, early morning on Saturday June 12, again making communication difficult.
- Another way of messaging editors is to put a message on this page, and then go to their page and put {{subst:mytalk}} on their "talkpage" (which is actually the tab labelled "Discussion".) This will send them a notice, when they log on, that they have a message on your talkpage (this page). Like this example:
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
- As a registered editor you should also have e-mail access to other editors, if you and they have enabled it. (Not 100% sure here as I am not registered.)
- A copy of your article can be given to you if you don't have one, as even though 'deleted', records of it still exist. See one of these admins.
Please don't be discouraged. Try editing some other articles that interest you, this will help give you an idea what is needed for an article to be kept. Apart from notability, Verifiability from Reliable sources are very important. ie your point "it was cited by another approved wiki entry" seems irrelevant as every article is supposed to have it's own external sources. Other Wikipedia articles are specifically not regarded as reliable sources.
Finally, please sign your messages. At the end type ~~~~ (that is, four 'tildes') the key for which which is in the top left of my keyboard (actually shift ` ). It may vary. You can also copy and paste the tildes from here if you wish. --220.101 (talk) \Contribs 17:12, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
