Speedy deletion nomination of Chapter 2.4: D4h MOs[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 Chapter 2.4: D4h MOs requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. 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 "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, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Draft article[edit]

Hi Stacylee14. I moved your draft article from the mainspace of Wikipedia to a sandbox in your userspace User:Stacylee14/D4h molecular orbitals. While your article has promise, it isn't developed enough to be "live" yet. There are no references; everything to add to Wikipedia should be supported by a reference to a reliable source and it had notes in the text like "INSERT DRAWING OF MOLECULE HERE".

Your article also isn't written the way an encyclopedia article is supposed to be written. For example, you wrote

In order to construct the molecular diagram for [PdCl4]2-, the reducible representations for both the σ and π bonding interactions must be found first.

While textbooks are often written in a style like this, encyclopedia articles generally are not. While some derivations are appropriate, an article should start by saying what a thing is, what's known, what's understood. You should also be writing for a more general audience - don't assume that your reader has an advanced familiarity with chemistry; you don't need to explain everything - very often a link to another article. Take a look at some of the Good Articles in chemistry for a sense of how you should approach this stylistically - maybe look at atomic theory, X-ray crystallography or Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory.
