Public parks in Johannesburg moved to draftspace

[edit]

Thanks for your contributions to Public parks in Johannesburg. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:15, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Josh.
I understand. I will keep adding onto it to make it better.

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 ReaderWorld NPC 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 company, corporation or organization that does not credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

The Northern Sotho language Wikipedia article here is, as far as I can see, pretty much the same as the en.wp article: it appears to be pretty much a book club - no doubt a most admirable undertaking, and I'm sure that everyone here wishes it all the best - but one that appears in no way to meet WP:NORG. For reference, if you translate a nso.wp article to the English language Wikipedia, it should also include of its "talk page" an attribution for the translation, in this case, {{translated|nso|ReaderWorld NPC}}. Please do let me know if I can assist you with this, or anything else related to the English language Wikipedia. Peter in Australia aka Shirt58 (talk) 🦘 09:58, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Good day, Peter.
I hope that you're having a wonderful day.
I'm a librarian in a public library. I have organised an information literacy session, as a programme, for tomorrow. I will be training people on editing on Wikipedia and this article I "published" is part of my preparation for my practical demonstration. Knowing that it would get deleted, for a number of reasons, I wanted to show everyone that writing a good article isn't enough, you also need to cite what you're saying and it has to be about a notable subject, place or person.
Both articles, in English and Northern Sotho, should be deleted. It's part of my training session for tomorrow.
Regards,
