Speedy deletion nomination of Prostitution and state sanctioned violence


A tag has been placed on Prostitution and state sanctioned violence, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. (See section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Wikipedia has standards for the minimum necessary information to be included in short articles; you can see these at Wikipedia:Stub. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
 * It appears to be about something made up, and 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. (See section A11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)

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 "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, then please contact the, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. ‡ Єl Cid, Єl Caɱ̩peador ᐐT₳LKᐬ  15:32, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

Ways to improve Sex Trafficking and State Sanctioned Violence
Hi, I'm Megalibrarygirl. SheaDrue, thanks for creating Sex Trafficking and State Sanctioned Violence!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. This article needs to address all areas of the world, not just (presumably) the US. In addition, the lede doesn't address State Sanctioned Violence. Needs expansion.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Proposed deletion of Sex Trafficking and State Sanctioned Violence


The article Sex Trafficking and State Sanctioned Violence has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "WP:OR, effectively unsourced/WP:SYNTH, POV title."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.

Your contributed article, Sex Trafficking and State Sanctioned Violence


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Sex Trafficking and State Sanctioned Violence. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Prostitution and State Sanctioned Violence. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Prostitution and State Sanctioned Violence. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "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, then please contact the, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 22:09, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

Hello,

I created both those articles, but am attempting to have the Prostitution and State Sanctioned Violence article deleted as this one has a title that is more related to our article.

Thank you

Class project?
Hi there,

It looks like you may be contributing to Wikipedia as part of a class assignment. If so, could you respond below this message with the name of your instructor and university (and any other information you want to provide)? I would love to get some information to your instructor about the many resources available to help both instructors and students working on Wikipedia. There are printed brochures, interactive training modules, technical tools, and even staff support. If the university is in the United States or Canada, you may want to check out the website for the non-profit I work for, wikiedu.org. If the university is outside that area, there are people all over the world in the Wikipedia Education Program that I can connect with your instructor. Thanks -- and thanks for contributing to Wikipedia! --Ryan (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:17, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

Hello Ryan,

Yes we did create this article as part of a class assignment. We only had a few days to complete it, therefore there are many issues with our article. We go to UMBC in Maryland. We are working on trying to fix these issues now. Thank you


 * Thanks for continuing to work on it. Is this the class? --Ryan (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:16, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

Yes it is!
 * Is there any help you'd like with the article? As I said in the AfD discussion, I think there are some issues with it as it stands, but if you'd like to take your thoughts about racial issues related to sex trafficking and fit them better into the encyclopedia, I'd be happy to help if I can. I realise this is later so it might not be part of your course any more, but you may still be interested.

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 Prostitution and State Sanctioned Violence. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. If you wish to have this redirected to your other page, then make the case at the Afd! Shawn in Montreal (talk) 21:47, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

What are you trying to do?
Hi there. It's not clear to me what you're trying to do. If you want to publish a blog or essay, there's lots of better sites than this one for that. Do you want to merge all of your work into another main article? If so, we can work on that. Please type your reply below mine. Bearian (talk) 13:24, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh, I read the comments in the thread above, got it. Bearian (talk) 13:25, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
