Welcome
Hello, Fakeman73, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

There is a page about the verifiability policy that explains the policy in greater detail, and another that offers tips on the proper ways of citing sources. If you are stuck and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

I removed some of the references because I could not find "Haliburton Sculpture Forest" on those website even after using the search features on them. This much violates the verifiability aspect of our requirements. I'm not sure that the offline references you listed are sufficient to meet our reliable sources requirement. All-in-all, I do not believe that the references are sufficient or adequate. However, keep in mind that the AfD process is not a sure path to deletion, but a means to elicit consensus from the Wikipedia community, which is how this project operates. Others will be able to bring up their own valid points as to why the article should be deleted or stay. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 19:05, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 18:43, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
