User talk:Gphi1992

Welcome!

Hello, Gphi1992, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, your edit to the article Gamma Phi Sigma do not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Simply removing the tags does not alter the fact that, as a member of the fraternity, you should not be the one writing about it. I will replace the tag, and if it is removed again, I will recommend deletion of the article.WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 05:35, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notability of Gamma Phi Sigma

A tag has been placed on Gamma Phi Sigma requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Phlegm Rooster (talk) 07:41, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What I dont understand is why this page was deleted on the grounds of blatant advertisement?? I structured the page like the page of author greek organizations that we work closely with and have been around about the same time. If you look at the Chi Upsilon Sigma Page and the Psi Sigma Phi page they both say that they need resources but they were not deleted... so whats the difference? (18:39, 5 September 2008 (UTC))

Many of the frat pages are written in a facebook style, it is true. But they have sources out there, just not in the article. So people leave them alone. It would be better if you asked at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Fraternities and Sororities. Phlegm Rooster (talk) 20:08, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
