Speedy deletion nomination of Camp Agawam


A tag has been placed on Camp Agawam 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 an organization or company, 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that your page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. - MrX 22:24, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Camp Agawam
Thanks for the brownie! Unfortunately, once the article has reached Articles for Deletion, there's nothing that can be done to stop the deletion discussion from going on. It should take 7 days before someone closes it, but they often close after about 5 days. The best thing to do is to improve the article as quickly as possible, based as much as possible on reliable independent sources -- the Portland Press Herald article you found is a good one, and there's ones from the Boston Globe & Sun Journal too -- see this Google news search:. I am truly not the best person to help here -- I'm a Brit & know absolutely nothing about summer camp articles, and I don't have access to US newspapers. I strongly suggest you try asking for help/advice at the Teahouse -- they might be able to point you towards a relevant WikiProject that can help out.

Deletion tagging of Khalilabad (Lok Sabha constituency)
Hello. I noticed that you tagged Khalilabad (Lok Sabha constituency) for deletion, referring it to the completely unrelated AfD at Articles for deletion/Camp Agawam. I have removed the tag as disruptive. A national parliament constituency is obviously not going to be deleted from Wikipedia. Please see the guideline WP:Do not disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point. • Gene93k (talk) 03:20, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Stub tags
Please remember that stub tags go at the end of an article, not the top (see WP:ORDER) and they do not take a date parameter. I've corrected (and stub-sorted) your addition to Camp Arcadia. Thanks. Pam D  14:01, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
