Speedy deletion nomination of Mizzou Hydrogen Car 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 Mizzou Hydrogen Car Team requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. 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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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 Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. VQuakr (talk) 00:13, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Re your message: I have userfied the article per your request to User:Jonathanno14/Mizzou Hydrogen Car Team. To establish the team's notability, you would need to include references to articles about the team. For example, if a local news organization covered their work. Setting a new record may make the team notable enough, but you would need to provide a reference for that. If the team won a national or world competition, that might also establish their notability. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 18:42, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Re your message: That reference would help, but the depth of the coverage is not very deep so the article would likely need additional references to establish its notability. You would incorporate references into the article by using them to backup claims about the team: records, competitions competed in, competitions won, etc. It is not quite comparable, but if you read the article on Stanley (vehicle), you can see how references were incorporated into that article. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 20:47, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
