Proposed deletion of Boston University Pub
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Boston University Pub, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? DGG (talk) 04:44, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

I do not see how it can be improved to meet our standards, because I do not think the pub is notable in the first place. It would need 3rd party independent reliable published sources, print or online (but not blogs or press releases), and the student paper is not usually considered sufficient for student events, for it shows no notability outside of the college itself. If you have anything substantial, add it, and I will take a look just in case, before I nominate it for deletion later this week. Then it's not up to me, but to the community, according to WP:AFD. In the past, it's been quite rare that a student club is considered notable there. For some advice, see our Business FAQ, which is relevant here as well. DGG (talk) 19:46, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Flagging Boston University Pub for further review
Hello, … I recently encountered the article about Boston University Pub and in my opinion, it either lacks sufficient Attribution that it satisfies the Notability criteria for, or it may violate the Conflict of interest guideline, or perhaps it violates a copyright.

I am considering tagging  for deletion according to the Deletion policy … I do not have time to examine the article in depth at the moment, and it may improve over time, in which case this warning was premature.

I have created this initial entry on your Talk page because you are either the original author of the article, or else a recent contributor to it; I will leave more detailed information regarding my specific concerns about the article on its Discussion page … please respond either there or on this Talk page, instead of on my Talk page, in order to avoid fragmenting the conversation.

Be sure to read Ownership of articles, and remember that other editors may not share your opinion about the notability of the article's subject.

I do not mean to imply that your contribution is unappreciated … perhaps you should read Your first article … and remember, there was a time when I knew less about how Wikipedia works than you know right now, and I am always available to help you become a more proactive contributor.


 * The biggest problem is that most of the "references" are the pub's own web site, making it a primary source ... you should also check out the  and   templates to properly format the citations ... look at some of the other articles (like CDS Global) for examples of how it is used Happy Editing! &mdash;  21:41, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
