The article The Grove Community History Library has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Should be merged with Peppermint Grove, Western Australia

While all constructive 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. smileguy91^{Need to talk?} 02:39, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

wow[edit]

what a way to start - you have been truly templated in your first day of editing. Please note there is a very freindly and helpful group of local editors you may have not yet met at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Western_Australia there is a varying range of editors with a wide range of experience here - some over 10 years...

please feel free to contact or use that page to make queries - or comments or feedback as well satusuro 09:36, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Problem[edit]

With going to universal points of contact, it is possible to get skewiff with things. One - not every school in perth is WP:N nor is every library, nor is every scout group, for instance. The best way to evaluate whether your local library is even notable - is where to go - to say you want to publicise your library is WP:NOT not what WP:ABOUT....

Very much worth speaking/linking with local editors. satusuro 09:26, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you - I think what you are saying is that our library is not WP:N. I just thought that the more places and subjects which are written about, the better the database of information. There are other libraries on WP so I thought our little library was valid. We have won a few awards for our digital stuff but always fail to get noticed by the public as we are always hidden under the main library name. I guess the main library would have no problem establishing a page and we would have to sit under their banner-AGAIN. Thank you for your input. History6011 (talk) 00:21, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It depends, a long term editor might find enough WP:RS to qualify a local library for an entry - this is not a database of info - it is an online encyclopledia - pity you havent been adequately shown the difference between the two. If you are in the library and contactable - perhaps a local wikipedian can walk you through the issues and the best way to look at the issues that arise. satusuro 00:24, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

closer[edit]

It is really better to let an editor other than yourself to remove tags - specially if you created the article. The notion of review and appraisal apart from the creator is not spelt out very well for such issues - as to whether the issues are resolved depends from what perspective. satusuro 01:00, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
