This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. Below are some pages to facilitate your involvement.

Gateway Elementary School[edit]

We appreciate your efforts to add information to Wikipedia. That is how this encyclopedia grows. However, all of us editors must follow the rules, guidelines and policies that Wikipedia has. One particularly important rule deals with notability. In order for any topic to have its own article, it must pass Wikipedia's criteria for notability. These are described in general in Wikipedia:Notability.

For articles about schools, there are more specific notability criteria defined in Wikipedia:Notability (Schools). Please read the notability criteria for schools. In brief, they say that elementary schools are generally not considered notable. That does not mean that elementary schools are not important. Rather, it simply means that information about elementary schools should be put in the associated school district article. Typically, the school district article contains a paragraph or two about each elementary school. If you look around Wikipedia, you will only find a few articles about elementary schools, and most of those are because the school has some specific importance and notability.

We suggest that you add a brief description of Gateway Elementary School to the Creighton Elementary School District, under each school's entry in the bullet list under "Schools". Also do this for the other schools you want to write about in Wikipedia.

The Gateway Elementary School article was redirected because that is what the Wikipedia rules say should be done. If you create similar elementary school articles, they too will be redirected or, perhaps, deleted. To avoid that disappointment, would you please follow the rules and add the information to the associated school district article(s).

You might also want to take a look at hints for editing at Wikipedia, which is at the top of this talk page.

Thanks, and happy editing. Truthanado (talk) 00:19, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Gateway Elementary School[edit]

The article Gateway Elementary School has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable elementary school, fails WP:SCHOOLS. Per WP:SCHOOLS, article should be redirected to the associated school district article, which has been done twice; both times the author reverted it.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

August 2009[edit]

Please do not delete content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Gateway Elementary School, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. Please follow Wikipedia rules. They are for ALL of us! Truthanado (talk) 01:54, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Gateway Elementary School[edit]

Hi K karenh! An article you have been involved with has been suggested for merging. Please see Talk:Gateway Elementary School, address the different points if you can, and leave any comments or suggestions there.--Kudpung (talk) 23:31, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of content[edit]

I don't know if you realise this, but the edit you made here removed content from an archived deletion discussion. Changes like this can be construed as vandalism, and can get you blocked from editing if they happen too often. I'm assuming good faith and figure that this was a mistake.

If you want to see what a page will look like when it goes online, click the "Show preview" button below the editing box. When you're satisfied that the page is done correctly, then click the "Save page" button.

Thanks. Radiopathy •talk• 04:11, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Gateway Elementary School[edit]

Hi K karenh! The Gateway article has now been merged to Creighton Elementary School District following a consensus reached by discussion. Please do not recreate the page as it could be construed as vandalism, and could get you blocked from editing. However, you are welcome to improve the Creighton article provided any additions comply with the Manual of Style, and Wikipedia School Project WP:School guidelines. Thanks. --Kudpung (talk) 10:43, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
