Calculus (book)
I've added the "prod" template to the article Calculus (book), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also What Wikipedia is not and Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Calculus (book). You may remove the dated prod template, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. :: Princess Tiswas 17:29, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Paul Sally Quotes
* "Your only excuse for missing the test is if you're dead and your funeral is that day." * "You must learn to think well before you learn to think, for later it will prove too difficult." * "The question is the answer." * "Clarity of vision, focus of intent, rectitude of thought: these will help in mathematics. If you don't have these three things, you're doomed." * "One of my students once asked me what the p-adic norm measures. I told him it measures the p-ness of a rational number." * "A few years ago, one student told me that he was going to miss class the day before Thanksgiving. He had a flight scheduled already. I asked him what airline he was flying. He told me Southwestern. So I called them up during class, and changed his flight. At his expense I might add. The moral of the story: come to class this Wednesday." * "If your phone goes off in class, here's what will happen: I will take it from you and put it on the floor up here. Then, everyone will line up and get a chance to stomp on it." * Sally to unsuspecting student: "What do you have in that travel mug?" "Coffee, Sir." "That is good. If it was single-malt whiskey I would have to confiscate it." * "Now that I'm going to have a second prosthetic leg, I could be seven feet tall if I wanted to be." * "If there is a subset of the reals and it's cardinality is greater than aleph naught and less than C and it's Lebesgue measureable, then it has measure zero and we don't care." * Sally was recently spotted walking the halls on his prosthetic legs. When asked about it, he responded "Of course I'm walking. What the hell d'you think?"

Speedy deletion nomination of Blackstone Hall


A tag has been placed on Blackstone Hall requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

 * I have declined the speedy deletion nomination, as that criterion does not apply to buildings; but I still do not think the article is appropriate, so I have proposed it for deletion, for reasons explained in the formal notice below:

Proposed deletion of Blackstone Hall


The article Blackstone Hall has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * There is no indication that this college dormitory is notable enough to have an encyclopedia article - see the List of bad article ideas #4.

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  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  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. JohnCD (talk) 11:18, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
