Speedy deletion nomination of '''be bold'''[edit]

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.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on '''be bold''' requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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, you can place a request here. WWGB (talk) 05:43, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments on your BIOL 345 proposal[edit]

This should be a very interesting page. Here are some comments and questions to consider:

What other Wikipedia pages will you link to?
Are there other similar projects in Vancouver? Do they have Wikipedia pages? If not maybe you could make a more general page that describes all the farm projects.
Are there similar projects in other cities, with or without wikipedia pages? Is this part of a 'movement'?
What other Wikipedia pages will you create links from, to your page?
At present it looks like you only have one source of information, coming from the subject of your page. Consider finding independent sources of information.
You should plan to go to at least one of their farms and have a good look around. Take your own photos that you can use to illustrate your article. If this is not possible, maybe you can find photos on flickr and email the photographer for permission to use.
Please do your composing and editing in a Wikipedia sandbox. This will help build your familiarity with Wikipedia and will also allow me to keep an eye on your progress, offering help if I think it's appropriate.

It seems like there is no wikipedia site for any of the Vancouver Urban Farms, except for UBC the Farm (which need work). A few of them are actually quite big in Vancouver, I am wondering if we should do one page for the whole Vancouver Urban Farming SCENE/MOVEMENT with brief descriptions of the biggest ones (the ones we find more sources for etc.) and list other ones. Or just stick to SOLE FOOD.???? --Dga279 (talk) 23:20, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi DGa279. So far I've only looked at the Sole Food farm, but there does seem to be enough out there (e.g. [1], [2]) to warrant an article. Bear in mind that everything on Wikipedia boils down to sources; to get a new topic into the encyclopedia you'll need several unaffiliated sources which talk about it in some level of detail; see the answer to everything for a few more details.
