Speedy deletion of Juniper Island, St. Lawrence RIver
A tag has been placed on Juniper Island, St. Lawrence RIver 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 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. T-95 (talk) 15:04, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Re: Juniper Island
Hi Randem, a few suggestions for starting this article:
 * Content must be supported by reliable third-party sources, per WP:SOURCES. The only link you are using currently is to a website that primarily advertises the island as a yoga retreat, and can be construed as commercial. It raises the possibility that the article is of a promotional nature. If there are no reliable sources to support the subject's notability, then the article may be challenged.
 * The passage on current conditions, quoted directly from the site, reads as a personal or anecdotal essay, and ought to be cut.
 * As the article's creator, you are not to remove speedy deletion tags, but must leave that to other editors. Doing so, even in good faith, can be construed as vandalism.
 * Hope this is helpful, JNW (talk) 15:55, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
