Speedy deletion of Conservatory Canada
A tag has been placed on Conservatory Canada 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 a company or corporation, 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Entry should be included
Conservatory Canada is a non-profit organization that has a strong place in the Canadian arts sector. It focuses on education and works tirelessly to help educate teachers and students about music. Other organizations which have a similar goal have entries in the encyclopedia (i.e. RCM Examinations) and it would be biased to allow some organizations to have entries while excluding others. Conservatory Canada also has a strong place in the promotion contemporary musical education and this should be noted in the online resouce.

It should also be made clear that Conservatory Canada is not a school. It is a federally incorporated charity.

Thank you for considering this request!

Conservatory Canada
Just a friendly note on Conservatory Canada. The article as it was didn't give enough information on the importance of the organization to avoid speedy deletion, but to give you more time to work on it and improve it, I've taken the liberty of moving it to a subpage of your userpage, User:Km7345/Conservatory Canada. This will give you more, but not unlimited time, to work on it.

Take a look at WP:Notability to see what needs to be in the article. When you think it's ready, put a tag here on your user talk page (note the curly brackets) and ask an experienced editor to look it over.

Hope that helps!-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  19:51, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Conservatory Canada Attempt #2
Would it be possible to have an experienced editor take a look at my Conservatory Canada page before I attempt to post it again? The link is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Km7345/Conservatory_Canada.

Thanks in advance for your time!

 * Sure :-) I'll take a look now, and reply soon - should be within the hour.  Chzz  ►  23:01, 13 April 2009 (UTC)


 * The article is not OK; I'll try to explain why.


 * The only references are to the company itself; all articles must include secondary sources. For example, I could say on my myspace page that I'm the Queen of Sheba, and use that as a reference; it wouldn't be accepted. I'd have to have a reliable secondary source, such as, for example, a BBC News article about myself and my queenhood. For more info, see WP:V, WP:RS. You need much better references.


 * If secondary sources are not available to support facts, then those facts have to go. Assuming that you can find secondary sources to prove notability, I suspect the article will have to be much shorter than it is now, for the reasons above.


 * Most important - I suspect you have a conflict of interest with this article. Therefore, I would strongly recommend two things;
 * a) Don't create the article yet; edit some other articles, 'get into' Wikipedia, and learn how things work first. For example, dive into WP:Community portal, and check the 'Help out' section. Add comments to the talk page of articles, get involved in discussions.
 * b) When you are ready to create the article, and if you can find enough sources, first read WP:COI and WP:BESTCOI. Follow the suggestions there, and you're much more likely to succeed - i.e. don't create it yourself, but instead request that it is created.


 * I have recently assisted three other new Wikipedians, who are creating similar articles to yours. It might be beneficial for you to make contact with these two people, as I feel you might be able to help each other.


 * One of the articles is Free Legal Advice Centres, and you can leave a message for the creator on User talk:Fintanmon - create a new section, and leave your message, remember to 'sign' your message with ~.


 * The other article is Centres Against Sexual Assault, and the creators talk page is User talk:Peto Australis.


 * The third is . Like you, they're creating an article in their user space. You'll see all the discussion on User_talk:BasicallyGood - again, you could leave them a message.


 * You could also contact other users - just look at articles, check the history, and see who has worked on them a lot.


 * Wikipedia is all about a bunch of people helping each other to create articles; I hope that this will be helpful.


 * I sincerely hope that this helps; if you have further questions, you could place another below here, or ask me directly on my own talk page - but, perhaps best of all, talk to us live.


 * Good luck with it all,  Chzz  ►  23:21, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
