Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Woolley moor united fc. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Woolley Moor United F.C.. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Woolley Moor United F.C. – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to 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, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the page be "userfied" or emailed to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Del_♉sion23 (talk) 00:05, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Finding those old newspaper sources can be challenging. However more and more of the old newspapers are coming on line. Otherwise you may actually have to visit a library and use a microfilm reader or something to read the newspapers. Just having a score listed does make them notable, but if you can find a story on them, it would show clear notability. Librarians may be able to help you find indexes to the old newspapers.

Use of Wikipedia for promotion[edit]

I see that you once wrote on another user's talk page "Having a Wikipedia page would also increase interest on the club as it looks more professional. We have people working round the clock to push the club forward and back to where it belongs at a higher level." This is a good example of one of the things that Wikipedia is not for. Wikipedia does not exist to promote or publicise organisations, to make them look "more professional", or to "push [them] forward and ... to ... a higher level".
