== How to flag and report article == |

I am new to wiki. This is possibly the worst article, though I would call it an advertisement. It's not even accurate. Can an experienced editor inform me of how to flag, report, and delete it? Maybe ban some of the sockpuppets as well? This shit is why my AP teacher won't let me cite the wiki even tho 99.99 of articles are true [[Special:Contributions/76.188.120.7|76.188.120.7]] ([[User talk:76.188.120.7|talk]]) 11:52, 14 February 2023 (UTC) |

Key questions, not just for Lions but for all service clubs:
Question: Does anyone know which club holds the most members? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.9.246.4 (talk) 15:04, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Speaking as a Lion, I would like to say, "nice article." However, there is one small problem with images linked to that page. They are pictures taken of LCIF logos. LCIF actively enforces its copyrights, and they might consider these images copy vios. Please let me know. If there isn't a problem, I will certainly look forward to using them on my user page. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 22:09, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It would be good if we could restrict the article to references from sources outside of the Lions' own website. It might even be that using Lions website references for a Lions article might contravene some Wikipedia policy or other. Someone will undoubtedly be along soon to confirm this... --Cheesy Mike 18:35, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Note that the references to LCI's own web site no longer work. This is due to a recent upgrade to the LCI website which failed to observe best practices regarding redirects to content within the new framework. All documents on the new site are of a .php or a .pdf nature. Any link ending with .shtml (the old model) will redirect to the main page.hdonagher (talk) 22:43, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The section providing dates of entry for various countries and regions has China listed twice, once in 1926 and again when the PRC legalized them in 2002. What became of the 1926 club? Did it move with the ROC government to Taiwan? If not, does anyone know when the Taiwan Lions Club joined? I'm pretty sure that club has been around a long time, and it was in the news a few years back when the LCI forced them to change their name and there was quite a bit of wrangling over what the new name would be. Readin (talk) 04:03, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Anyone know when the Taiwan Lions Club came into existence? According to this, it was at least 50 years old in 2002. Readin (talk) 04:06, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I notice that the External Links Section of this article contains links to specific areas within LCI's site and links to a very select list of other Lions projects, mostly in Australia. Should we feel free to add links to Lions Projects from anywhere? For example, I have a list of links to projects of MD4 (California). Or would a long list of Lions Clubs projects be better served having their own page, as I've seen sometimes in other areas of Wikipedia? Thanks.hdonagher (talk) 04:43, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The article reads in large measure as an advertisment and as praise for the club. It needs editting. Fremte (talk) 18:45, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I removed this section. On examination, the single reference supporting it was misinterpreted - the survey said that Lions was the best NGO to work with. That qualifier was missed out, and with it, it hardly seems interesting or appropriate for the wiki entry.Electrosaurus (talk) 16:01, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I looked up this article curious to find out why/how the Lions Clubs are so named, rather than (say) the Tigers Clubs or Giraffes Club. Unless I missed it in my quick scan through the article, there doesn't appear to be an explanation..? 212.84.100.97 (talk) 14:13, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I have a pic of what is believed to be the first three women to join the Lions Club (It was announced as such on the evening). I'd happily share it, but I'd first have to talk to the people in the pic. I'd just like to know if it would be appreciated on this page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.167.139.196 (talk) 09:41, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This whole article is based on the club itself, with very little secondary sources. And even then whatever secondary sources I checked were mostly fluff pieces, with very very little substance. Now this article has had it's fair share of edits and oddly enough with more watchers than edits) but still ends up with almost no encyclopedic value. Am I missing something?
And while NPOV might not be the best tag here, but that's only it might downright be an Advert instead. I'm not sure how I'd even begin restructuring the article though, most of it's content even if it was well sourced (it's not!) adds very very little substance.
That the article is biaised towards the club is also not necessarily the problem, maybe the club is great!. the issue is that this is nothing more than pure marketing with a very very PR-speak taste and is far beyond self promoting. Thoughts?

How. How much are inactive Lions Club annual International Membership dues. 107.115.159.49 (talk) 17:53, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Why does this all read like an advertisement? I will tell you why. Lions Club wrote this. Citations needed, but nominate for deletion more expedient.
