Speedy deletion nomination of Tupiq


Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Tupiq requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. 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. JDDJS (talk) 15:56, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Verifiability
Hello. I think your article topic Tupic is probably worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. Wikipedia has strict policies on what you can use as sources, however. A source must be both verifiable and reliable. See Verifiability and Identifying reliable sources.

The person you interviewed for the article may be reliable, but not verifiable to anyone else besides you, therefore we can't use personal interviews as sources for articles. The sources don't have to be online. They can be newspapers, books in a library, anything that is readily available to anyone who wishes to verify the source. ~Amatulić (talk) 17:10, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Hi, nice work on creating the article. I've added some references and a picture, not the best one, but it was all I could find. I changed the spelling of ukjuk to ugjuk as I couldn't find anything to under the first spelling. Most dialects seem to use the second spelling which is unusual as slight spelling differences is common. Also qammaq for sod houses was another word I couldn't find. If you look at Igloo most dialects use iglu to include sod houses. Could you give what area the two words were used in? I realise that it's getting close to asking for personal information so if you would prefer not too that is fine. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 23:38, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
