I have been trying to figure out how to create a subpage and I am having a hard time. Help please!

Speedy deletion of Skyhawks Sports Academy

A tag has been placed on Skyhawks Sports Academy, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

User:Clinehan/Skyhawks Sports Academy

I have cleaned this up a little for you and put it into a more Wikipedia-like format. It does still read a little like a sales brochure so the tone needs some work. I also blanked the other version from your user page. Hope this helps. – ukexpat (talk) 18:59, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Heh, I've just been looking at User:Clinehan/Sandbox and doing much the same. I prefer User:Clinehan/Skyhawks Sports Academy; Ukexpat has done a better job than me. I'd agree that it needs a wee bit more work on tone. One big issue for new articles is always notability - this article does a fairly good job of citing third-party references, but it wouldn't help to dig out more (I noticed that a lot of the references came from one source; a wider range of sources would help).

Great thank you both so much I will try and clean it up a little more to take out that sales feeling. Thank you again. Clinehan (talk) 19:24, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

The language is still way too much like a sales brochure. The entire "Camps and programs" section going to have to be rewritten into prose style, and about 80-90% will have to go. We need impartial, non-promotional language and information, not a pamphlet telling me why I want Skyhawks privatizing my local public recreation program. --Orange Mike | Talk 01:19, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
