Speedy deletion nomination of St. Paul Lutheran Seminary


A tag has been placed on St. Paul Lutheran Seminary, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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 "Click here to 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, you can place a request here. Dark Sun (talk) 15:21, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Notability
Hey, I thought I'd explain about notability and promotional tones. The problem was that although you assert that the church is notable, you have to prove that with reliable sources (WP:RS). Anything released by the church itself is seen as a WP:PRIMARY source and cannot show notability themselves. Also, just existing and serving a large area does not automatically give notability. Now as far as promotional tones go, it's not as overly promotional as some of the other pages I've seen, but the tone here and there was a little iffy. At points it kind of read like a blurb you'd read in a paper advertising the school. I'm not exactly sure where to change it to make it more neutral, as the article was so short but Princeton Theological Seminary is a good example of a neutral article. It also includes examples of what we would use as a reliable source on Wikipedia. What I'll do is put the article in your userspace so you can work on showing notability and cleaning it for neutrality. You'll be able to find it at User:Dennisdimauro/St. Paul Lutheran Seminary. 11:17, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
