Speedy deletion nomination of Suffolk Accident Rescue Service[edit]

A tag has been placed on Suffolk Accident Rescue Service 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 an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles 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 organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 15:28, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

February 2010[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. A page you recently created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests, and consider using the Article Wizard. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article. You may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 15:36, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Suffolk Accident Rescue Service[edit]

I'm sorry your article was deleted before you finished it - the problem is that new articles are created at a rate of rather more than one a minute and have to be scanned rapidly by the (volunteer) New Page Patrol as many are unsuitable, and some are libellous and copyright violations which have to be disposed of quickly.

So it is prudent not to put an article in until there is enough of it to make clear that it is going to be a serious contribution. One way is to compile it gradually, using the "Show preview" button to check your edits but not pressing "Save page" until it is ready; another is to put {{underconstruction}} at the top (two curly brackets each side) which will protect it for a few days.

Certainly you may put the article in again, but before you put a lot of effort into it, please read WP:Your first article and check out our guideline WP:Notability. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a notice-board, and does not expect to have articles on every person, band, company, organization... the test is notability, which is not a matter of opinion but needs to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and press releases. If your article does not demonstrate notability, it is likely to be deleted again. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 16:16, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'll add that it is highly unlikely that a local ambulance/rescue service will be considered notable enough for its own article. Generally speaking, only the large services that are located in major cities are notable enough, and some of them don't quite make it. Also note that Wikipedia is not to be used to publicise or promote anything, particularly an organization that you might have connections to of some sort. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 17:10, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
