Speedy deletion nomination of Jacksonville University: DSIM 518 Fall 1 2010
A tag has been placed on Jacksonville University: DSIM 518 Fall 1 2010 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 about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, 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. 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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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 administrators to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

 * I don't believe there's any chance this can become a usable Wikipedia article. Narrow subjects like this have a difficult time passing the various guidelines.  Simply being true and even being educational is not enough for an article to survive.  It's hard for me to say much more than that, because it looks like you've only just started, but I'm basing this claim on what I've seen in the past.  If you'd like to work on it, I'd suggest moving it back to your userspace, perhaps to a title such as User:RMSadler/DSIM 518.  I know that it's a collaborative effort, but the article as it stands now is likely to be deleted if it stays at its present location. I have also deleted an article named DSIM518 Fall 1 which consisted of just a single name.  If this was going to be about a related subject, it should be in this same article; if not, a more meaningful title would be necessary, and it should ideally not be moved into mainspace either until it's ready for publishing.   —  Soap  —  23:00, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Status and Advice

 * As reviewing administrator,   I deleted the article. We do not do things this way, but it can be done in userspace as suggested above. I'm not sure what topics you are using, but we never have a Wikipedia page consisting of miscellaneous topics. I have no idea how narrow or broad you intend the topics to be--I could give you some more exact advice if you could tell me--either here or on my user page. You should also see School and university projects for a full discussion and some sample projects.    DGG ( talk ) 01:07, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
