Proposed deletion of List of chemistry mnemonics


The article List of chemistry mnemonics has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * This is a relatively indiscriminate list ("the list of certain mnemonics in chemistry") that may function as a catalog of learning aids. These are all examples of WP:What Wikipedia is not.

While all 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.

Introducing folks to the Teahouse!
Hi Vanischenu! I saw your message on Meta and I wanted to stop by and answer your question. We actually did start up a discussion on the main welcome template, but it it has failed thus far. One of our Teahouse hosts reacted by creating a template based on the original welcome but with the Teahouse added to it. You can find that template information here and add it to your Twinkle if you use that! There is also the very pretty and custom created for the Teahouse template here. If you see the "Teahouse user utility," that is what I use to invite people with the custom template (like those editors who have been welcomed already). I hope this helps, and thank you SO MUCH for having interest in the Teahouse! Invitations are one of the biggest keys to making the Teahouse a success and informing new editors that it's there to help. Sarah (talk) 22:14, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Hello Sarah! Thank you for your kind reply. When I first saw the separate invitation for the Teahouse on others talkpages, I thought that the invitation is beautiful. Now, when one is placed on my talkpage, it felt to me like a barnstar made for me. It must be the feeling of each one who receives it on their talkpage, because the invitation is personal, friendly, and makes the receiver feels they are special. I am in the opinion that this should not be merged with the Welcome templates; as it would lose the status of speciality. However, it would be good to provide a link to the Teahouse, though not emphasized, within the welcome template.


 * Majority of the welcome templates have claws and are too much wikified that it discourages the new comers. So it would be better to construct new friendly & enchanting welcoming templates. According to me, the present welcome templates lack enchanting characteristics. Suppose that the Teahouse tributes a lovely welcome template to the welcoming committee, wouldn't it promote interwikilove as well as gaining the interest of newcomers? It must not provide anything more than a mere link to promote Teahouse. Invitation to the Teahouse should be separate (or must imitate that they are separate). I can guarantee that the new comers will become interested. The separate invitation makes the newcomer curious enough to walk into the Teahouse.


 * It appears that that the new comers feel quite comfortable to ask questions on Teahouse. Helpdesk asks the user to checkout the archives. Please do not force them to do the same in Teahouse, as they would lose interest. Also, at helpdesk, there is a fear/tension about the silliness of the question. New users at the Teahouse doesn't seems to have this tension and is free to ask.


 * Hope that this project becomes a huge success. V ani s che nu mTalk 08:36, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
