Speedy deletion nomination of The Spirit Room - Fargo, North Dakota


Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on The Spirit Room - Fargo, North Dakota requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. 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 this 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. Kolbasz (talk) 17:09, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

The Spirit Room - Fargo, North Dakota
I saw your note that you are planning to add content to this article in a few days/weeks. Please feel free to recreate it when you have some sources and more to add! Thanks!

Also, I would like to bring to your attention the section of our username policy about shared use of accounts: "Any user account should represent an individual and not a group". Please do not share this account with anyone else. Thank you, ErikHaugen (talk &#124; contribs) 18:44, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

Also, if you recreate this article, I think this title might be more consistent with how other articles that need to be disambiguated based on location are entitled: The Spirit Room (Fargo, North Dakota). I'm looking forward to reading this article; thanks! ErikHaugen (talk &#124; contribs) 18:48, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and moved it to The Spirit Room (Fargo, North Dakota); hopefully that is ok.
 * The article right now has no reliable, 3rd party sources, which are essential for Wikipedia articles. Do you know of any that can be used?  Thanks, ErikHaugen (talk &#124; contribs) 17:26, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

All right. I am confused to what you mean by reliable 3rd party sources. I had an interview with the founder of The Spirit Room, Dawn Morgan, who gave me all of this information. I also gathered some information from their official website and their Facebook page. Dawn also emailed me a couple documents with useful information that I used. I am confused on how you want me to cite these in the page. Anything will help, thanks.
 * "3rd party" means independent of the subject: news articles, books about it, etc (by reputable sources) might be good examples. Using material published or provided by the subject is pretty useless other than for verifying some kinds of information about the subject; see this section of the policy on verifiability.  If there isn't significant coverage of this subject in reliable, independent sources, then the article will probably be deleted within a couple weeks.

Okay, that makes sense to me. Thank you. I have found a couple newspaper and journal articles that I did not incorporate into this page. I will go over those articles and add information to the sections they fall under and cite them. Hopefully that will show reliability and credibility.

File permission problem with File:The Spirit Room.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:The Spirit Room.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
