Speedy deletion nomination of Hall Green United
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Hall Green United requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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.

Copyright issue
- Hi, Bobbybarks. I left a message on the article's talk page but it may be deleted before you get to read it so I have copied it here.
- The issue is that we can't just take your word for it that the club give WP permission to use the text. Also, even with permission, the text may not be encyclopedic in tone and therefore not suitable for WP. If you would like to donate the text (assuming you have the right to do that), you can read about the process at WP:DCM. In the meantime, the text may be deleted but we can always get it back with a few mouse clicks.
- If you have any questions, feel free to ask on your talk page or my talk page and I'll do my best to assist you. OlYeller21Talktome 18:45, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
- Hey. I got your message on my talk page. I know WP can be confusing at first especially when there's so many complicated policies and guidelines. The template messages from people and bots don't make it any easier either. I'll see the article through the deletion process.
- Rewriting the content in your own words is the easiest way to go in my opinion. If you need any help with it, you can always ask me here or on my talk page and I'll do my best to help. You can also find some useful information about creating your first article at WP:YFA. OlYeller21Talktome 19:17, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Thank you.
The article Hall Green United has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article, which appeared to be about a real person, individual animal, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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. See WP:FOOTY. NawlinWiki (talk) 11:51, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
