Welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia. To find out more about how to make useful contributions, take a look at the welcome page. To stay in Wikipedia, an article has to be about something notable, that is, of general interest. See WP:N for an explanation of what that means. Follow the links below to learn more:

To find out more about creating articles, read the introduction, tutorial, and Guide to creating your first article.
Do not write articles about yourself, your company, your band, or your best friend - that's a conflict of interest.
Wikipedia is not an advertising service.

Notability of Julian Myerscough Appreciation Society

A tag has been placed on Julian Myerscough Appreciation Society requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. JohnCD 10:56, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Deletion tag to Billinghay

Hi. I'm not sure if you're aware but tagging an article with {{db-vandalism}} implies the whole article is nothing but vandalism. If part of it has been vandalised you can fix this yourself by undoing a bad edit or simply editing the page to remove the issues. Ta! Pedro : Chat 10:13, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, this is a wiki - you are free to edit any page!. I have now copyedited the article, removing unsourced information and generally fixing it up. There was a lot of non-notable content. Basically, if you see an article that's wrong - fix it! But remember that we strive to be neutral and only have content that is notable and verifiable. If you need any more help on editing let me know! Pedro : Chat 13:19, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
