Welcome to Wikipedia! I'm glad you want to get involved, but I'm afraid there's a problem with the article you created,
Silicon Valley Roller Girls. It did not indicate how or why the subject is
notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Don't feel too badly; lots of people have a little trouble when creating their first article. You might find it useful to read
Your First Article for some good advice about starting to create articles on Wikipedia. Two important rules of thumb are: Avoid
writing about yourself, your business, your family and friends, or your web page, and avoid writing about anything that hasn't been written about in
reliable sources like books, newspapers, and magazines. Anyway, don't be discouraged. I've deleted the article you created, and feel free to ask me if you have any more questions. -

The article Silicon Valley Roller Girls has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

I'm going to place a proposed delete tag on the article, rather than speedily deleting it again, to give you time to edit out the ad copy and to find sources. NawlinWiki ( talk) 23:30, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
