Speedy deletion of The Snow Hole
A tag has been placed on The Snow Hole requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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. Alice (talk) 01:29, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Check the article talk page
Hi - I left a note on the article talk page explaining how the tags work. Alice (talk) 01:57, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

I think a separate page on the snow hole is warranted for several reasons. It is a unique location and a popular hiking desitnation. It has carvings of visitors dating back to the 1800's and its location is often incorreclty identified on many maps including google maps! The correct lat and long location I added on the article include pictures of the crevasse and one of the older engravings.

Proposed deletion of The Snow Hole
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article The Snow Hole, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process&#32; because of the following concern:
 * An utterly non-notable hole in the Earth. Prod tag added only because no speedy criteria other than common sense applies directly.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

This could be interesting but
It does need work. This persistent snow probably creates a microclimate, which offers a refugia for cold preferring organisms. The writings suggest long standing awareness of the snow hole, and notable comments might be shown in pictures (though the pictures need to be formatted to be smaller). If you can find any references to the snow hole in print that would certainly help. It needs reliable outsider references. As it stands, although the place is interesting the article about the place is at risk for deletion by some. Alice (talk) 12:32, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Why summaries matter
It is very helpful to include what you do when you make an edit. I see a fairly long string of edits by you on the Snow Hole article but can't tell what each one was. That kind of history is the sort of thing considered by admins when they are thinking about deleting an article. Alice (talk) 12:42, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Consider merging?
I noticed that Snow Hole redirects to White Rock (Taconic Mountains) - rather than create a new article you might want to transfer your material to that article. Alice (talk) 16:20, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of The Snow Hole
I have nominated The Snow Hole, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/The Snow Hole. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. CalendarWatcher (talk) 19:28, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
