Your contributed article, Social Interactions in Buffalo


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Social Interactions in Buffalo. 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 – Buffalo, New York. 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 Buffalo, New York – you might like to discuss new information 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 "Click here to 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 deleting administrator, 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. Joseph2302 (talk) 22:48, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

Deleted page
I've deleted the page because ultimately I can't see where this is anything other than a personal essay, possibly one that you wrote for class. Per WP:NOTESSAY, Wikipedia is not a repository for personal thought. Even if this wasn't written as a classroom essay, this would still fail criteria because it could also be considered a "how to guide" in that you're showing how to have fun in Buffalo and giving your own personal opinion on each destination. Not only are you not showing how this would really fit in with Wikipedia's editing guidelines, but essays like the one you wrote are pretty subjective. What may be considered a good place or a highlight of an area may not seem like it would be to others and vice-versa. By large I can't really see where the page would be able to be salvaged to where it'd pass guidelines as a whole. Even if I'd declined this and took it to a different deletion arena, I don't see where the end result would have been different. I know that this must be frustrating and I'm sorry for that, but this really wasn't the right place for this sort of thing. That's sort of the rub with things like that- because these types of essays/writings are so subjective and reflect on the opinions of the author (among other issues), the page just doesn't fit within guidelines. That's why most cities only have subsections about the places to socially interact with one another, if they even have that. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  06:24, 1 May 2015 (UTC)
