Speedy deletion nomination of Shelterwood Therapeutic Boarding School


A tag has been placed on Shelterwood Therapeutic Boarding School 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.

Shelterwood Therapeutic Boarding School
Hello Mr. DeVries, I thought you might want to know that I removed the speedy deletion nomination from Shelterwood's article because it does not meet the criterion of WP:A7 as an educational institution. I also added some references. If you could find a reference to validate the last sentance that would be great. You've created a pretty unbiased stub considering you are Shelterwood's Director of Program Development :) If you have any questions related to Wikipedia, don't hesitate to contact me. Cheers! ~ Anastasia (talk) 22:39, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
