Speedy deletion nomination of Western Oregon University Wolves
Hello Justalewis,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Western Oregon University Wolves for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. MrScorch6200 (talk) 18:05, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

Please delete and we'll reupload when we have more content. Thnx! Justalewis (talk) 18:31, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

Disappointed
I would hope that as a teacher leading a class of students on how to use Wikipedia, you might create something better than this empty article. If you and your class would like to build up an article incrementally, please do so in your user space (perhaps at User:Justalewis/Ackerman Residence Hall) and move the article to article space when there is sufficient material (with citations please) to meet Wikipedia guidelines.

Thank you, WikiDan61 for showing me the correct chain of events from article stub creation to complete article upload. While I appreciate your recommendation to build the article incrementally in the user space, I thought the point of Wikipedia was to build in aggregate over time - ideally with contributions from users outside of the ;circle of students working on this particular project. If users are only encouraged to upload the final product, there certainly wouldn't be much in the way of editorial consensus-building and article extension and revision over time. All that being said, delete away and we'll upload articles when we have enough content to justify their inclusion in the archive. Sorry and thnx! Justalewis (talk) 18:29, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
 * While the intention is that articles will improve over time, any article, at any time, must meet the minimum criteria for inclusion. An article titled Ackerman Residence Hall whose sole content is "This article is about the Ackerman Residence Hall does not meet those minimum criteria.  If you are to lead a class in the use of Wikipedia, you must first familiarize yourself with its proper use.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 18:29, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Black Rock Mountain Bike Area


The article Black Rock Mountain Bike Area has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Notability of this local bike trail not established.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Please delete this stub and we'll reupload when we've rewritten enough to justify inclusion in the collection. Sorry and thanks!Justalewis (talk) 18:28, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
