Speedy deletion of Sprouts (cafe)[edit]

A tag has been placed on Sprouts (cafe) 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 person or group of people, but it 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Printer222 (talk) 04:36, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've undone this deletion, but to stay this article does need reliable sources. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 09:25, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

for completeness's sake...[edit]

...please also add yourself here. Thanks! --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 09:30, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

models[edit]

To have a sense of what you should be aiming at as you work on your article, you are advised to look at relevant good articles and featured articles. A recent featured article about an author is Mario Vargas Llosa, for instance. This was written by a UBC class last semester. You may also want to consult the Literature Wikiproject. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 09:50, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

reminder: regular editing and plan[edit]

Two reminders, from our project page:

Over the course of the semester, you need to log in and make at least one edit, again however minor, to your article twice a week.

By September 19, each group should have their plan in place, and have written it up on their article's talk page.

what's the plan?[edit]

--Hoekie (talk) 16:52, 18 September 2008 (UTC)My email is BDHoekstra@aol.com. Lets figure out what we need to do so we can post our plan by tomorrow. I'll try and find some criteria or guidelines for making a page on an author.[reply]

Hey guys[edit]

[I'm moving this over from the article talk page, mostly because it has a private email address; I suggest you delete this message once you've read it.]

Sorry I wasn't sure how best to get in contact with you. I have strep throat. I've been in bed since Friday, but I just finally got the antibiotics so I'm hoping that I might be functioning again by Wednesday. Massive headaches and general bodily deterioration have kept me from doing homework of any kind, but feel free to email me at: bellagiovannini@yahoo.ca for communication purposes. Sorry again, hope you both are well.
