Speedy deletion nomination of Albanian Boys Inc

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 Albanian Boys Inc requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a club, 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 the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia'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.

Status and Advice

The article shows enough significance to avoid being deleted, but it needs substantial improvement.

The main problem is that each allegation needs to be supported by a specific reference making clear from where the material comes, , not just listing general references. This especially applies to reputed connections with other groups, and specific criminal activities. And as a special problem, we usually do not mention individual names unless the people have been convicted, not just charged.

The sources extend over a wide range of time--it has to be clear what is the earlier history, and what is the current. The earlier sources especially do not support the "Inc." in the name, though I think the later ones do. The listing of the sources should have more than a general link: give the full title, the individual author if any, and the date of publication. This needs to be right out there in the references; so readers will not need to hunt for it.

As far as i can tell from a quick check, it should be possible to do this for most or all of the material, but anything you cannot source should be removed. And try to avoid making judgments. We just give the facts, and the readers will evaluate them. If you do make a judgement, have a quotation to support it.

Articles on subjects such as this are subject to sensationalism and violations of NOT NEWS, as well as BLP problems. Quite a few similar articles have been challenged at afd, and deleted. Therefore I'd advise you to fix the problems quickly, DGG ( talk ) 03:28, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
