Proposed deletion of Richmond Comedy Coalition


The article Richmond Comedy Coalition has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * No demonstration  of importance. Only  primary  sources. Fails to  meet criteria at  WP:ORG

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Partially agree with Kudpung
Added partial justification, and acknowledgment that the page doesn't pass WP:ORG, at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Richmond_Comedy_Coalition.

Reaction to Kudpung's further posting on Richmond Comedy Coalition page
On http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Richmond_Comedy_Coalition, Kudpung posted:


 * This is a one-line article that make absolutely  no claims to importance for an encyclopedic article. It  merely  mentions the existence of the organisation. At best, it could even be CSD'd per A7.

I completely and absolutely agree with Kudpung's reasoning here. I even understood what he wrote! I'll make no further attempt to defend or update the original page, or to further the conversation on its Talk page. I have nothing to add.

I now have firsthand experience with [this Wikimedia research] on users first edit sessions in Wikipedia. This is far from my first edit--it's probably closer to 100 since Wikipedia's beginning--though it is my first edit with a login, and it is my first rejected update. I must say that my personal motivation to edit here in the future is diminished after this experience.

This isn't like the old days of Wikipedia. I like to help startups, local organizations, and the little guys. This encyclopedia, maturing, is no longer one of those. Morningstar88 (talk) 06:00, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
