Hold Fast in Prayer

Lackluster page. Very short. No sources. Not even any information. The Ninja5 Empire ( Talk ) 10:21, 11 October 2017 (UTC) The intention is to create structured sites for all World prayer days including: and to have these articles be based on Wikidata items This first article was created by me to show that it would in principle be possible to create such pages (if only there would not be the stricter deletion policies of these days which kill such articles shortly after birth :-( --WolfgangFahl (talk) 12:47, 11 October 2017 (UTC) see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Hold_Fast_in_Prayer and changes in article to show what this could evolve to. What's the minimum for a valid stub?WolfgangFahl (talk) 13:13, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:REALPROBLEM. Subject isn't notable. The original author needs to learn how to use user sandboxes for these test concepts. Besides, per WP:LISTN, standalone lists would only contain notable entries and none of these are likely to be notable. This is just a bad idea from the start. See WP:NOTWEBHOST.

 * Actually, WP:LISTN states, "...individual items in the list do not need to be independently notable...". Unscintillating (talk) 22:42, 15 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment - Every year there is a lot of activity around these days. Looking at newspapers.com, this extends back to 1932, indeed back to 1887. I think an article suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia could be written for most (all?) of the individual days. However, the creation of an article like this with little or no attempt to show the page's notability and to use reliable sources and the suggestion that dozens more such articles may soon be built is a bit disruptive. I strongly endorse working on these articles in user or draft space one at a time. There is no minimum for a valid stub, check out Your first article for some advice and consider Articles for creation for your first articles to get more feedback as you get started. Feel free to ask for adice (I'm happy to help, also consider the Teahouse). If the author is interested in moving this page (and the other similar pages) to user or draft space, I endorse that.
