Speedy deletion nomination of Barefoot Republic Camp and Retreat Center

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Barefoot Republic Camp and Retreat Center, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
• It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Googling a random phrase from your article took me straight to their website. Please respect their copyright, and respect Wikipedia's policy on copyright. Bazj (talk) 21:46, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Barefoot Republic Camp and Retreat Center. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Contest this speedy deletion, which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you.

Help me!

I need some help with creating a organizations page without making it an advertisement and how to make it notable? I've put notable musicians linked to the page but it somehow never gets approved. Any help is welcomed. Please help me with...

Hi. It isn't your responsibility to make the organization notable--it either is or it isn't. If it is notable, you need to demonstrate its notability. On Wikipedia, notability is generally defined as the subject having received significant coverage in third-party reliable sources. This means that several magazines, newspapers, books, etc have thought the organization an important enough topic to write about. This does not include the organization's own website, press releases, blogs, etc. If you feel the organization is notable, I would highly suggest using our article wizard to help you create the page as a draft, rather than a live article. This will allow others to comment on it, providing you with feedback that may help it get approved. Cheers, Nick⁠—⁠^Contact/_Contribs 20:08, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
