Speedy deletion nomination of Negro Academy


A tag has been placed on Negro Academy 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so 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 page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Rotorcowboy (talk) 18:02, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Hey, I have a question about your comment. By Whiskey's solution - Use the official name that was in effect at the time frame being discussed, you just mean to use the official name for that time (whatever the name was), not that one particular name should be used over the other? -YMB29 (talk) 03:48, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, since the name changed over time, use the name that was in effect at the time of the event/era/episode being discussed in the article(s). --Noleander (talk) 16:35, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok I see, thanks. -YMB29 (talk) 19:13, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

W. E. B. Du Bois
Thanks. I learned a lot in the process ... in more ways than one. --Noleander (talk) 13:10, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Du Bois and Walter Francis White assisted Regina M. Anderson when she was working at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture (the article I am editing) when she was being discriminated against because she was not getting a promotion. Did you see then in any of that in the plethora of books about Du Bois? I have it cited using an academic journal, but I would like a different viewpoint.

Thank you!
Thank you so much for all your help on the Feminism in India article. This was the first Wikipedia article I've worked on, and to get it up to good article status means so much to me. I'm definitely feeling very proud, and happy to be a part of Wikipedia now! So - thank you! Kit.i.t. (talk) 18:37, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Glossing example
I agree strongly with your advice re glossing English variants. However, you might think about changing the example of "university course". "Course" is ambiguous and is thus avoided in the official terminology of many UK universities, although widely used informally. It can mean a single "module" ("Bloggs teaches the first year logic course") or it can mean an entire degree "programme" ("Civil Engineering is a good course to take if you want to get a job at the end"). In neither sense is it precisely equivalent to a North American Major, since in the UK degree programmes which allow for the study of a minor subject will almost always have this in their degree title (e.g. the degree programme/course "Computer Science with Business Studies" means Major = Computer Science, Minor = Business Studies). Apologies if you actually already know this. Peter coxhead (talk) 17:40, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the info ... no, I did not know that "course" (UK) was not exactly the same as "major" (US).  Hmm, I'll try to think of a better example. Maybe the infamous rubbers/galoshes :-)  --Noleander (talk) 17:43, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
 * One I have to watch when I'm in Canada to see my young grandson is pavement/sidewalk. "Keep on the pavement!" is the wrong instruction in Canada where it most likely means "Keep on the road!". Peter coxhead (talk) 18:08, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
