Wesleyan Christian Academy
[edit]A "{{prod}}" template has been added to the article Wesleyan Christian Academy, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

You wrote a comment in the page that says that "Hannah Keifer" needs to have a source tying her to the school. I am the source...but I don't know how to quote myself. I went there and so did she, and I know her personally. Any help would be appreciated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Makbrandon (talk • contribs) 21:43, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
- There's an old joke that goes "Q: How do you get down from an elephant? A. You don't. You get down from a duck." Wikipedia requires that sources be independent, reliable and verifiable. You can't quote yourself. If you look at some of the other notables listed in this article, once can see the types of sources available. Hannah Kiefer (note the correct spelling, "i" before e") is the type of person who often has press that goes something like "Hannah Kiefer, a graduate of Wesleyan Christian, ..." that would establish a connection to the school. Once you find a source, be sure to add it to the article, and I will be more than happy to assist in putting it in the correct format. Thanks for the question.

A tag has been placed on OSIsoft requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. 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 Wikipedia 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. Little Red Riding Hoodtalk 02:25, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
