Deletion discussion about New York's Motto
[edit]Hello, Newyorkerr,
I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether New York's Motto should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/New York's Motto .
If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
Thanks, Malikussaid (talk) 00:09, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
Your contributed article, New York's Motto
[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, New York's Motto. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – New York. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at New York – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think that the article you created should remain separate, 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. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. הסרפד (Hasirpad) [formerly Ratz...bo] 03:01, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Messiah's Church
[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.
A tag has been placed on Messiah's Church 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 an organization or company, 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. Under 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 your 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. - MrX 01:18, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, I've had to delete this page, since it doesn't meet our inclusion criteria. I'm definitely not hostile to the church — I'm a member at Bloomington, and I've met Pastor Coombs in passing. It's simply that individual churches typically don't qualify for articles (they're not notable), and the exceptions are generally megachurches or historic churches, not newish congregations that had an average worship attendance of 80 people in 2010. The only St Lawrence Presbytery churches that might have a chance at qualifying for articles are the four old ones (simply because they're old): Almonte, Lisbon, Syracuse, and Walton. Basically, you'd need to show that a church has gotten coverage in books or academic journals or regional media (and if media, over a long span of time) in order to qualify. Coverage in W.M. Glasgow's History of the Reformed Presbyterian Church in America (which all four of the old churches have) would be helpful, but you'll also need to find coverage by sources that aren't affiliated with the RPCNA. Finally, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me for help! You can do this by going to my talk page and click the button at the top labelled "New section", and then type your question in the box that appears. Nyttend (talk) 13:52, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
