Speedy deletion nomination of Mertens and Miller Pro Team
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 Mertens and Miller Pro Team requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about something invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally, and 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.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Please do not create, maintain or restore hoaxes on Wikipedia, as you did at Mertens and Miller Pro Team. Hoaxes are eligible for speedy deletion under criterion G3. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia — and then to correct them if possible. Please do not disrupt Wikipedia. Feel free to take a look at the five pillars of Wikipedia to learn more about this project and how you can contribute constructively. Thank you.

Your edit summary
In your edit summary, you stated "I made this to show my students anyone can post anything online." That may be so, but Wikipedia is not your laboratory in which to experiment. It a serious reference site, used by millions of readers, who have the reasonable expectation that its contents will be accurate. The Wikipedia editing community takes a dim view of those who cause wilful damage to the project or incite others to do the same.
If you are interested in showing your students how to contribute to Wikipedia in a constructive manner, then please consult the Wikipedia:Education program. Thank you. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 16:15, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
