Speedy deletion nomination of Pillar (Ancient Athens)
Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Proposed deletion of Pillar (Ancient Athens)


The article Pillar (Ancient Athens) has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * This article is very confusing and incoherent. It is not clear that there is an encyclopaedic subject here at all.

It seems to deal with the use of the word "pillar" in a metaphorical context in ancient Athens to refer to an element of government (much as we would now say "pillar of the establishment" or "pillar of democracy") rather than physical pillars. The problem is that there is no reference for this and the ancient Athenians didn't speak English anyway so they probably didn't even use the word "pillar".

If this use of "pillar" (or a word meaning pillar) can be proven then it should get a brief mention in Athenian democracy but not a separate article.

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. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. DanielRigal (talk) 12:08, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
