Notability of University at Buffalo Student Association

A tag has been placed on University at Buffalo Student Association requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. 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 Misplaced Pages 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. ←Signed:→Mr. E. Sánchez / _{Talk to me!}←at≈:→ 02:24, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Re your email: You are welcome to recreate the article if you can provide citations from reliable sources showing media coverage of the Student Association that would make the group notable enough for inclusion on Misplaced Pages. It would be best if you did not use University at Buffalo media such as The Spectrum as sources since it would not be an independent source. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:49, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Re your message: I am not sure what you mean by "start to discuss about the Student Association". What did you want to discuss? The name that you created the article at previously was fine, but before you recreate it, like I said in my previous message to you, you need to provide citations from reliable sources that the association is notable. My use of the word "media" was not a reference to a picture. I was referring media sources such as newspapers, news organizations, magazines, television news shows, etc. You can upload a picture to Misplaced Pages if you wish. Instructions on that are available at Help:Contents/Images and media. I prefer that the majority of the communication that I do happen on Misplaced Pages through User Talk pages, but if you wish to ask a question that is private and requires a private response, you can send me email by filling out the "E-mail this user" link on my user page. It's the same link you clicked a few weeks ago. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 03:04, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
