Some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Kloof junior primary school may not be sufficiently well-known to merit articles of their own. The Wikipedia community welcomes newcomers, and encourages them to become Wikipedians. On Wikipedia, each user is entitled to a user page in which they can describe themselves, and this article's content may be incorporated into that page. However, to merit inclusion in the encyclopedia proper, a subject must be notable. We encourage you to write or improve articles on notable subjects. Jachin 18:30, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
Re: Query on proposed deletion
[edit]Hi Brad. My apologies for not notifying you that I had proposed the article for deletion, and thank you for contacting me. The issue with the article is that it makes no clear assertion of notability--in other words, it fails to state why the topic is of enough importance to warrant an article on Wikipedia. There's been a lot of discussion about the inclusion of articles on amateur radio clubs, and the consensus tends generally to favor deletion of such articles. If, however, you could provide statistics on how many members the club has, cite any large local or national publications that have referenced the radio club or done a piece on it, or if you could otherwise show how the club has had an impact on the society around it, the questions of the article's notability could be cleared up. If you believe that the group does meet the inclusion criteria ofWP:BIO and you intend to modify the article to clarify these points, then by all means remove the {{prod}} tag from the article. If I, or anyone else, still believes that the article's topic does not merit inclusion, I will then list the article on WP:AfD to gain community consensus either for or against the article's deletion. If you would like any help with this or anything else, please feel free to ask. Thank you for your question, and I wish you luck! AmiDaniel (talk) 06:14, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
