Why your page is being put up for deletion
Hello Crews, I just want to let you know that the reason I put your article up for deletion is because It looked like it was essay. But, wikipedia is a encyclopedia, not a place to post essays. I welcome you to stay and join our great community, however, please make sure to read the rules at first. If you have any questions, try The Teahouse, Its a great place to get help for new users. Thanks, Happy_Attack_Dog  ( Throw Me a Bone ) 15:29, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Crews73, you really should develop the article in your sandbox where you started. Nobody will bother it there, and you'll have time to build it to what you envision.  You might find Help:Menu/Editing Wikipedia useful for your endeavor. — Maile  (talk) 15:33, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

Concern over Essay Likeness
Yes this is a group project for a college course, however it is in no way meant to resemble an essay and is specifically required to be a wiki page.

At this point in time we are required to submit a general outline of what the page will be addressing, which is why it lacks the credible sources needed to justify it as an encyclopedic entry. The reason that it currently resembles an essay is due to the fact that my sole job in the project is the creation of the page, and as such I have no access to any of the research or actual factual explanations and entries that the other members of the group are currently comprising. Once I have access to the actual text that will be included in the page, both the headings and entries will be completely revised.

Thank you for your explanation as to why this page was put up for consideration of deletion. If we could be allotted more time which would allow us to comprise the information that the page will contain, I am sure that it will fulfill the requirements needed to be a credible wiki entry.

However, in its current state, it is not fit for this encyclopedia, What I suggest you do is request the page you have be deleted, then before it is deleted transfer all of your current material on the page into your sandbox (look at the top of the page, there should be a list of links next to your username, and one of then should say "sandbox", click it) and edit it until you think it is ready to be put on wikipedia. When the article is in your sandbox, it is a "draft" it will not appear for readers, but you will still see it and be able to edit it, along with other users.

 * Anyone in your group project can access your sandbox to further develop the article. Everybody can access everybody's sandbox, even IP editors. — Maile (talk) 16:01, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

The sandbox seems ideal for the current stage of this page, my apologies for not learning more about it prior to beginning my endeavors. I didn't believe that the current state of the page would actually have it publically posted.
 * How should I go about requesting for the current version to be deleted?
 * Thank You for your assistance and inputCrews73 (talk) 18:58, 16 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Please see Articles for deletion/The Widespread Effects of Land Loss in Natural Areas - I have put in a request to have an administrator take care of this. — Maile (talk) 20:11, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, I guess it instantly got deleted by an admin. So, good luck with developing this in your sandbox. — Maile  (talk) 20:21, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
 * No worries! I answered an "adminhelp" request, went to move the article to your sandbox, then saw that there was already a copy there, so I have deleted the mainspace version and closed the deletion discussion.
 * So that is all tidied up, and you are now free to develop your article at User:Crews73/sandbox. Although the draft is in your user space, any of your colleagues can edit it, though you will need to tell them where to find it. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 20:27, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
