Speedy deletion nomination of Christ Church CofE Primary Purley


A tag has been placed on Christ Church CofE Primary Purley requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. 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; 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. Reaper Eternal (talk) 13:33, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Christ Church CofE Primary Purley
You should not create an empty shell of an article, as you did at Christ Church CofE Primary Purley, but rathero wait until you have some significant content. It is possible to build up a draft for an article in a temporary page in your own user space, such as User talk:Theschoolguy/Christ Church CofE Primary Purley. You can then rename the page to Christ Church CofE Primary Purley when it is ready to launch as an article. Indeed, I would have moved the page to User talk:Theschoolguy/Christ Church CofE Primary Purley for you, for this very purpose, had I thought there was a significant of the article staying on Wikipedia. However, there is a long-established consensus on Wikipedia that a primary school does not warrant an article unless there is specific evidence in reliable sources that this particular school has notability. In view of this, it seems unlikely that the article will last long no matter what is done to it, so I have accepted the speedy deletion nomination and deleted the page. Although this may seem unfriendly, I think in fact that it would not have been doing you a favour to encourage you to spend time and effort on writing an article that i knew was almost certainly doomed to oblivion.
