2017–18 South Shields F.C. season

Hello Bill and welcome to Wikipedia. Unfortunately articles on non-league club seasons do not meet our notability guidelines (WP:NSEASONS) and the article has been nominated for deletion. You are welcome to work on improving 2017–18 Northern Premier League, 2017–18 FA Trophy or 2017–18 FA Cup qualifying rounds, and of course South Shields F.C.. Happy to answer any questions you have – I do a lot of editing on non-league football. Cheers, Number 5 7 21:18, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Bill. As I said, non-league club season articles do not meet the WP:NSEASONS notability guideline. Newcastle and Brighton's do as they are in "top professional leagues". Number 5 7 08:47, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, so if i was to add this information to the South Shields FC page instead, would this be acceptable?

No, it wouldn't be appropriate there. Number 5 7 09:27, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

what an utter waste of time then eh. deary me.

Sorry about that. Editing Wikipedia is often a learning curve at the start – many of my early edits were removed as they weren't in accordance with guidelines/policies. Cheers, Number 5 7 10:30, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I apologise for my tone, as you can imagine I am frustrated. So in your experience is there any way I can keep the page I have made or not? Surely there must be a way around it? 😔

No problem. With regards to keeping the article, I'm afraid not. As I mentioned above, I'd advise working on other articles that are deemed suitable for Wikipedia. Number 5 7 12:59, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

May 2018

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:12, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

2017–18 Northern Football Alliance moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, 2017–18 Northern Football Alliance, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the confirms on the Articles for Creation template atop the page.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by SportingFlyer were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Unsourced, and we generally do not keep season articles below step 10.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.
