Five pointz
I'm not sure if I'm doing this the right way but bear with me! Are you the person who put a speedy deletion on the Five Pointz article? I urge you to retract. This page is a class project for undergrads. This is a work in progress so please be patient. Five Pointz is definitely an important cultural icon of New York City. It is the only place in the city where graffiti is allowed. Artists from around the world come here to do their work. On March 11, for example, I met an artist from Belgium there who told me that he came to NY just to be able to work on the building. He said that graffiti artist all over Europe know about Five Pointz. In addition, newspapers from all over the USA have had articles on Five Pointz, notable the NY Times.

I'm also new to wikipedia as an editor so I'm still feeling my way around.

Again, please be patient!

A tag has been placed on Five pointz, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable. If you can indicate why Five pointz is really notable, you can contest the tagging. To do this, please affix the template  to the page and leave a note on Talk:Five pointz, explaining how Five pointz is notable. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

Please read the criteria for speedy deletion (specifically, article #7) and our general biography criteria. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. -Amarkov babble 05:16, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
