Welcome!
Hello, Robertzumbrun, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Veritalifasm, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

Proposed deletion of Veritalifasm


The article Veritalifasm has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day (even if you're the teacher). Articles on poetic forms (and every other topic) need to be supported by reliable sources.

While all constructive 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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Unfortunately, Wikipedia is not a medium to spread information about new concepts. If something has not been written about in reliable sources, there cannot be a Wikipedia article about it. I have removed the comment you added to the Proposed Deletion template, as that is not the place to contest a deletion. Please see the note immediately above this one for information about how you can prevent the proposed deletion, but please be aware that unless there is significant coverage of the concept in multiple reliable sources, the article will be deleted after a deletion discussion. I suspect that you feel that your experience of Wikipedia has been frustrating, and I'm sorry about that, but the policies have to be the same for all articles.

 * Ok, I understand that, but if something has to be scholarly written about first then much new information posted should not be posted. Along with that, this form has been written about, just not in an magazine. It was even discussed in a master's program online class site. Unfortunately I cannot reference with links to that because it is a password protected class site.
 * No, there's no requirement that something "scholarly" be written about it. It just needs to have been covered in some detail by an uninterested third party in any sort of reliable source.  Discussion on a university class website won't count, since online conversations are not formal publications.  However, if your poetic form has been written up in a couple of newspaper or magazine articles, that would probably satisfy the sourcing requirements. —Psychonaut (talk) 21:37, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

Not a problem, I will continue to work with it and hopefully come back at some later date.

Please do not write or add to an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you. bonadea contributions talk 19:51, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

Sorry, this was my bad. I was simply trying to verify that the creator was in fact an established poet, since the form it self isn't established.

Removing AfD template
Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Veritalifasm. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. This is an automated message from a bot about, where you removed the deletion template from an article before the deletion discussion was complete. If this message is in error, please report it.— cyberbot I NotifyOnline 21:38, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
