A tag has been placed on Strikes and Spares requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

I have examined your article Strikes and Spares and its associated {{hangon}} tag, and the associated talk page. You haven't asserted the correct reasons to keep this article. Merely asserting that a topic is factual is not sufficient for an encyclopedia article. Wikipedia articles must be about notable topics and that notability must be verifiable. Essentially, what would be required is objective third-party arm's-length evidence that the subject play was ever produced and, if so, that it was found to be notable. Also, that evidence has to be in a form that can be verified by other Wikipedia editors. I also note for your benefit that re-creating a speedy-deleted article without making substantial edits to address the reason it was deleted from Wikipedia is considered vandalism, which can have serious repercussions with respect to your future ability to edit the encyclopedia. You may wish to read up on the relevant policies before recreating this article, if you decide to do so. If you have any questions, you can leave me a note on my talk page.

The article James Tredinnick has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki (talk) 12:12, 26 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
