Speedy deletion nomination of Nemaha Valley Schools


A tag has been placed on Nemaha Valley Schools, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of Nemaha Valley Schools and leave a note on |the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 16:12, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Nemaha Valley Schools, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. I also notice that when you removed this tag your edit summary was "Adding line breaks", although no line breaks were added, and the only change made by that edit was removing the speedy deletion tag. You may like to be more careful that your edit summaries are accurate. JamesBWatson (talk) 16:29, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Nemaha Valley Schools
Just want to let you know that the article still reads like something written by the board members of the school district. Please be aware that Wikipedia is not — and does not intend to become — a free webspace provider. Mission statements and other statements of intent are regarded as inherently promotional and should be avoided unless they can be referenced by third-party reliable sources. The fact the school district is a public institution changes nothing to that. Also, as all school districts have (or should have) the same mission and goals, stating them in the articles about individual school districts serves no purpose but to duplicate content, and so it is better to write them in the general article School district without mentioning any individual district. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 22:57, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
