Speedy deletion nomination of Wilkes Plaza


A tag has been placed on Wilkes Plaza 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 an organization or company, 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.

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 hang-on 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

A question, possibly posed by you
In my opinion, the request made User_talk:RHaworth could have been explained better. Let me take a stab at it, as you are new and may not be familiar with some of the protocol at Wikipedia.

An article called Wilkes Plaza was created by you. Someone asked the deleting admin a question about the deletion, and s/he declined to answer. While it may seem obvious that you were the person who asked the question, it isn't known for certain. The article was created by an editor who was logged in. The question was posed by someone who was not logged in. There are a very small number of editors who have the ability to connect an IP address to a user name, but I'm not one of them, and wouldn't use the ability in this instance if I had it.

If you log in and ask your question, you should get an answer. If you don't let me know and I'll help the process along. In the meantime, I took a very brief look at the article and note that it had zero references. If I had seen the article, I would have deleted it for that reason.-- SPhilbrick  T  21:38, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
