The page I and a colleague Priker928 were creating was deleted by C.Fred based on library system not being a notable organization in its own right. I believe many libraries have their own pages already and do not understand why ours was singled out. I am a librarian and am trying to contribute to Wikipedia in the spirit that it was intended.

 * It does not matter what is already here - new articles have to follow current policies and guidelines. Any subject must be shown to be notable to stay - thus you need plenty of in-line verifiable, reliable sources. Creating new pages is very difficult for experienced users, it's next to impossible for novices - which is why we have WP:AFC to assist in page creation - articles created in draft first are less likely to get deleted. When you create a new page direct, as soon as you press the first save, the page will be listed on the new page list, and dozens of editors are likely to then look at it (and often ask for delete!)

 * Information orange.svg Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to The Martin County Library System. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. -- Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  20:12, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Information.svg Hello, Ej1128lib. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article The Martin County Library System, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. -- Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  21:10, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of The Martin County Library System


A tag has been placed on The Martin County Library System 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 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 "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, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
