Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 13:46, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Texas Station Gambling Hall and Hotel
A tag has been placed on Texas Station Gambling Hall and Hotel 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 a copy be emailed to you. —Largo Plazo (talk) 17:32, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
 * More than one opinion was taken into account. This is a non-notable business.

About your intentions
I see from your user page that your intent is that "any user that pulls up these categories will have a complete listing". I understand this is why you are trying to have a separate article about each and every casino you can think of, but as I've explained WP:Notability comes into play. Further, Wikipedia articles are supposed to consist of verifiable information from objective third-party reliable sources. As for your desire to produce what amounts to a complete guide, please see WP:NOTDIRECTORY and WP:NOTGUIDE, both part of the article on What Wikipedia is not. I appreciate what you're trying to do, but the guidelines were developed with the goal of making Wikipedia an encyclopedia of enduring information, not a listing of current events, a travel guide, a business directory, or anything like that. There are plenty of those on the Web; Wikipedia wasn't intended to duplicate their function. —Largo Plazo (talk) 18:28, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

I should add: if any of these hotels is notable and you can update the articles to reflect this notability and meet Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, then you certainly ought to do so. If an article you want to improve this way has already been deleted, you can request a copy of it from an admin and can recreate it with the required evidence of notability. —Largo Plazo (talk) 18:37, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Texas and Boulder Station
Basically all new articles are going to be reviewed by editors looking to keep junk out of the encyclopedia. I know that there articles can be flushed out. When you created them as a new user, you were probably not given any of the leeway that an experienced editor would be. So they were deleted. BTW, don't delete articles when you want to rename them, just do a move. BTW, I am not well at this time and as a result may tend to be rather short and may make a few errors rushing to get caught up while I'm on for a while. You can help texas station by adding a few cites, especially from newspapers. As to the name, I selected that name since that is the name on the website if you want to send them mail. Names for most casinos can be an issue, especially if they use several. Texas Station, at work case is the common name since that is what just about everyone calls it.

 * The Westin article also could use a few references to fix the problem there. Vegaswikian (talk) 03:06, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * What do you mean about waiting for the mediation cabal before restoring Boulder Station? Vegaswikian (talk) 00:48, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Plans
Glad that you have a plan. I would concentrate on adding references to the articles, that are lacking them. This would do the most good in the long run. Once you cite Texas Station and the Westin, I'll restore the Boulder article as that you can cite that one. As to McCarren not being a casino, it has an unlimited license as far as I know. It is among the largest in terms of slot machine and is the major source of revenue at the airport, excluding the concession leases. I'm leaving for the night.

Postcards
Hi. Please see your Commons talk page. Note that many old US postcards may have fallen into the public domain, but if you are not the creator of the postcard you cannot claim them as your own work. Actual information is needed. Thanks. -- Infrogmation (talk) 19:08, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

McCarran International Airport
The lead does mention that there are over 1,300 slots in the airport. Adding a section with more information on the slots would be appropriate and will be required to make this a better article. If the casino operations had its own section, then the casino infobox could be added there. Vegaswikian (talk) 06:13, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Wendover Will
Hi. I think you added the picture of the sign. Unfortunately it's been deleted, see Commons:Commons:Deletion requests/File:Wendover-Will.jpg. I'm trying to get it restored, see Commons:Commons:Undeletion requests/Current requests. The issue is whether the sign is copyrighted. At the time it was produced (1951) it had to be given a copyright notice in order to be copyrighted. Are you able to confirm whether or not it has one of these (maybe at the back): if it doesn't have a copyright notice then the photo can be restored. --Simon Speed (talk) 10:31, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Gold Spike Hotel and Casino


The article Gold Spike Hotel and Casino has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Promotional article, one of a set created by the same author to promote the activities of The Siegel Group. Not notable. Fails WP:N and WP:SPAM

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. andy (talk) 14:36, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
