Contested deletion
This page should not be speedily deleted because... (I don't see a big issue with me creating a small space for people to share and link their educational travels. The idea is to allow people to share how they navigated through physics, music, math, reading...I take different courses than others, which require different materials and in turn lead us all down different learning paths. I think it would be interesting to see what the ties that bind are. For example 3 people add their sections. Person 1 adding Reading, Music, and Math...Person 2 adds Math, Science, and Woodworking...Person 3 adds science, communication, and business....Then you could not only see the interesting webs we each weave through out life, but look at how Person 1 and Person 2 experienced math...Or how person 2 and person 3 experienced science. By linking to either the wikipedia page or external source, you go straight to the information from each person's learnings, giving credit to where each person retained their info. For example in Ftpftw's wild ride, I link directly to the wikipedia pages that have helped me (there are many more, but this is just playing with the editing so I am familiar with the space) and youtube videos that also assisted my learning, also a link directly to purchase a book that I really enjoyed and has furthered my understanding.

None of the material gets claimed as anyone's and since it is nothing but links with maybe some short descriptions, I don't see an issue, I am not not ripping off anyone's work. I am pointing people in the direction of the source if anything. The size of this shouldn't be too large either.

This isn't even a main wikipedia page, you have to dive in to even find it. It wont even get in anyone's way. It is under users : books :

Not a big deal either way. I just see a powerful platform to quickly sift through this chaos. I feel this is an interesting way to compare and contrast each others knowledge. While my ultimate dream is to re-create alexadria on the web, I doubt I will ever tame that beast. This website is accessible to everyone, you don't have to mess with circles or friends list. With a little effort any one can add, and it would probably be pretty cool in a couple years just from my additions, much less other enthusiastic learners. I would end up minimizing the page away from it's current form to simplify and hopefully encourage people to add their own sections.

What is currently there has been me understanding how to create the page, and was intended to change and include all types of links that amalgamate into my education thus far and adding as it grows. I just need remove the scrollable main section for easier editing, and also add and link better content (those were mainly formatting and seeing if I was writing the page correctly. I am new at this.

I tried to read the "criteria for speedy deletion" but It was just another "contract" trying to describe scenarios, then more scenarios until its as deep and foggy as out tax laws. The whole thing seems to go against the idea of wikipedia, but I get why it's necessary and if that deems this page deletable...then it is up to the wiki gods THX Ftpftw1981. ) --Ftpftw1981 (talk) 23:46, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
