Sudbury stuff

Since you appear to be new, just a couple of notes on how we actually do things around here:

1. We don't move an article by cutting and pasting its text into a new title like you did with Northern Ontario Railroad Museum; that breaks the article's edit history. We move an article by clicking the "move" tab at the top of the article and actually changing the title of the existing article, not by creating a new one.
2. Similarly, we don't keep multiple articles about the same thing at different titles — we redirect the second title to the primary one by adding #REDIRECT [[main title]] to the second title. In the case of the page move, though, this part would be done for you automatically anyway.
3. We don't just slap together an infobox and a bunch of empty section headers with no text under them and call that an article, as you did with Sudbury Summerfest — while I've salvaged it by adding a basic text description of the event, normally an article can be immediately deleted if it doesn't actually have any real text in it.

Hope that helps a bit. Bearcat (talk) 16:08, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of School car

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 School car, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. (See section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Wikipedia has standards for the minimum necessary information to be included in short articles; you can see these at Wikipedia:Stub. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
• It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of 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.
