Speedy deletion of Hester Street Collaborative
A tag has been placed on Hester Street Collaborative 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 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, 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.  TN ‑ X - Man  16:30, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

advice
As reviewing administrator, I did not delete the article-- it does indicate some at least local importance, though almost certainly not enough to prevent regular deletion by WP:AFD, It is still more like a press release than an encyclopedia article. It can probably be rewritten to be acceptable, if you can find 3rd party independent reliable published sources, print or online (but not blogs or press releases) for at least some of the projects. As it happens, I know the neighborhood, and I think you'll be able to do it. To prevent deletion, you need to show the notability by such references. The references given, unfortunately, are essentially press releases. WHat you need really is newspaper articles. Please see our Business FAQ for further advice--it applies to nonprofits also. I'd advise you to add this very quickly, before it gets nominated for regular deletion.DGG (talk) 19:33, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

editing
Thanks for the heads up. If it's possible could you forward the text that was deleted to me? Also, when it comes to newspaper articles, many of the articles published regarding HSC I'd like to cite are simply documented on HSC's website. Does that mean that the article must be cited directly from the publications archives, or could the link still be to HSC's website? Clairesauvagemar (talk) 19:48, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Hester Street Collaborative


The article Hester Street Collaborative has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Non-notable local org. Refs are all minor mentions in local sources at most."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 07:19, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
