Hi there. It looks like you may be a newcomer around here so welcome and thanks for your contribution to Mt Gambier Golf Club.
Please, before you do too much work, have a read of Wikipedia's Conflict of Interest guideline. You may also need to look at Wikipedia:Autobiography if you are closely associated with the Club.
By all means, contribute information regarding groups and organisations you are assocaited with. But please make sure they are notable organisations, and that everything you mention can be clearly attributed to a reliable (preferably, secondary) source.
I do appreciate the work you have put into the article, unfortunately some of it is too much straight out of the phone book and that is out of place in an encyclopedia. Try looking at New South Wales Golf Club as a reasonable stub for an article that doesn't host any majors, or The Heritage Golf and Country Club for a larger, multi-course club. These articles don't mention any directory information, and give the reader a reason as to why the clubs are significant to Golf in Australia. Garrie 02:42, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article University Of South Australia Hockey Club, South Australia, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
