Speedy deletion nomination of Trickster Gallery- Native American Arts


A tag has been placed on Trickster Gallery- Native American Arts requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about it should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you can assert the notability of the subject,. Clicking that button will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit |the article's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

See the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. —C.Fred (talk) 22:56, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Status and Advice
As reviewing admin, I had to delete the article. Not that it didn't show some degree of possible importance, but it was entirely a copy of the organization's facebook p.. Let me explain what to do.

First, a Wikipedia article needs to actually show notability with references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases. Routine notice ofa performance are not considered substantial coverage. Remember not to copy from a web site -- first it's a copyright violation, but, even if you give us permission according to WP:DCM, the tone will not be encyclopedic and the material will not be suitable. I think it would be much much easier to rewrite. Keep in mind that the goal of an encyclopedia is to say things in a concise manner, which is not the style of  press releases or  web sites, which are usually more expansive.

As a general rule, a suitable page will be best written by someone without Conflict of Interest; it's not impossible to do it properly with a conflict of interest or as a paid press agent, but it's relatively more difficult: you are automatically thinking in terms of the organization wishes to communicate to the public, but an uninvolved person will think in terms of what the public might wish to know. If you think you can do it right according to our guidelines, do so, but expect the article to be carefully checked for objectivity.

For the artists who have been shown here, and the performers, please include only those that have Wikipedia pages in their own right. I do not want to discourage you, but to urge you to write a proper article if it is possible. In any case, consider writing an article about the overall organization of which this gallery is a part please help us by improving our other articles on related topics.
