This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Dallas Defenders Football Club, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Dallas defenders football club. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page.

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting it into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is considered undesirable because it splits the page history which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other articles that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. – Toon^(talk) 14:18, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The article was deemed not to satisfy Wikipedia:Notability after a discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dallas Defenders Football Club, where there was a consensus to delete. The basic guideline of Wikipedia:Notability is: If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be notable. After a period of discussion, the consensus was that this article's topic does not satisfy that guideline. If you wish to dispute that, I would suggest you work on a draft of the article at User:Dsboice/Dallas Defenders Football Club. Then after you are done and have demonstrated that the article's topic has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject, you can either let the deleting admin (me) know about it, or appeal through the deletion review process.
