Re: e-mail query

Hi, Steven4472. In reply to your e-mail question: the Bahamas Locomotive Society article was deleted per Wikipedia's WP:G12 criteria for copyright violations. Text was copied directly from this website. Additionally, the article failed the WP:A7 criteria because it did not assert the significance of the society. Note that simple existence of an organization is not an assertion of significance -- rather significance is determined through coverage in independent reliable sources. Next time, you may wish to try the article wizard to help you create an article which will meet Wikipedia's criteria. If you have further questions, please ask. — CactusWriter ^(talk) 23:48, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
