Teeswater Creamery article
Hello, thanks for writing this article! I’ve just read it and I’m a bit concerned that it has no citations. That worries me since without proof that this topic is notable, meaning covered enough in media for it to be possible to write a fair article on the topic and prove that the facts in the article are true, the article may get deleted.

Are there any reliable sources on the topic that you can add? If so just edit the article and add citations using the cite tool (I would cut anything you don't have a citation for) or if you have any thoughts or questions just let me know. Blythwood (talk) 20:25, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Teeswater Creamery


Hello. A tag has been placed on Teeswater Creamery 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 an organization or company, but it does not credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. JMHamo (talk) 20:45, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

Help me!
Please help me with...everything! This is my first page (promised my Dad!) and i am trying to pull together info. Have a few sources, but only one published. Others are family documents, etc. Also, have some fantastic photos that I would love to include, but I can't figure out how to add. All are personal, family photos (not previously published anywhere)

 * Rather than delete it, I have moved the page to Draft:Teeswater Creamery where you can work on it. It is not suitable for the encyclopedia in its present state.


 * From what you say above, I am afraid that it may never be, and you may have to look for somewhere else to publish it. The reason I am pessimistic is Wikipedia's fundamental policies Verifiability and No original research. An encyclopedia is not a place for publishing anything new, its role is to summarise what has already been published elsewhere. WP:Verifiability is summarised as "all material must be attributable to reliable, published sources". So family documents, personal reminiscences etc. are not acceptable. The point of published is that readers of the encyclopedia should, in principle, be able to check Wikipedia's facts at source.


 * References are required for another reason: Wikipedia's inclusion test, called Notability, which asks for references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." The test is, have people not connected with the subject thought it significant enough to write substantial comment about? See also Notability (summary).


 * There is good advice at Your first article.


 * I am sorry to be discouraging, but I do not want you to put in a lot of work to no purpose. Sources do not have to be on-line; newspaper reports may be acceptable, if you can give the name and date and preferably the page number. Your local newspaper offices may be able to help.


 * If not, Alternative outlets may give you some ideas for where to publish it, or you may be able to find a local-history website in your area. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 16:39, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

Ok...so to confirm, that the source that i used, that is a published source...is not good enough? https://www.amazon.ca/All-Our-Yesterdays-Township-1854-1984/dp/B0016A0558
 * Yes, that's a good published source and can be cited as verification for any facts stated in it. A single source may not be considered enough for WP:Notability, though.


 * One danger I should warn you about: for copyright reasons, you must not copy extensive text from a source like that. You have to write in your own words, summarising what the source says. Read Copying text from other sources for advice about that, and WP:YFA and WP:BETTER for advice about how to lay the article out. When your draft is ready, clicking the blue "Submit" button wil send it for review by an experienced user, who will either accept it or give you feedback. JohnCD (talk) 21:31, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
