Deleting pages
Hi there, you left a note on Australian Contemporary Art for the article to be deleted, which should be carried out shortly after a history merge has been performed with Australian contemporary art. In future, please do not leave a page like this as this gives the false impression that there is an article there when there isn't, causing a number of problems. Please either move the article to a new title (which would have been the best option in this case), redirect it to another article, or have the page deleted by an administrator after following one of the deletion processes. Please ask if you have any questions. Thanks, and happy editing, mattbr30 15:37, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Contemporary Art Organisations of Australia
A tag has been placed on Contemporary Art Organisations of Australia 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 company or corporation, 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (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 they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

Proposed deletion of Downtown Art Space
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Downtown Art Space, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process&#32; because of the following concern:
 * This article has no references; is about a private gallery not of obvious significance above any other business in its sector; and will be difficult to establish notability for (quick Google search turned up a lot of business/advert links and little else).

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. hamiltonstone (talk) 11:52, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Artist Funded


The article Artist Funded has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Appears to fail WP:GNG. Unclear subject and context. Google search reveals little more than circular links to WP and mirror sites.

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. LordVetinari (talk) 11:06, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
