List of Christmas Parades In Michigan

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Even if this list linked to the events listed or provided useful information such as dates and so on, it would still fail WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Ros0709 (talk) 22:53, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment I understand that this is the first article from a new editor, and we want to welcome everyone to Wikipedia. I hope that you keep contributing, even if this first article is deleted.  The first article I created was nominated and deleted, and although I was mad at first, it was simply my introduction to the guidelines for articles.  I don't think that this will be allowed to stay, even though it is information that is accurate and that hasn't been put in one place before.  "Wikipedia is not a directory" means that, as a matter of policy, it doesn't maintain articles about scheduled events, or lists of addresses and phone numbers.  It's not that those things are unimportant (indeed, I agree that the annual Christmas parades are an important part of each of the communities listed).  It's only that the creators of Wikipeida concluded that it would be a mistake to open the door to that type of article.   People might disagree about whether this is an indiscriminate list (which is a fixable problem), but the rule against directories applies here.  Anyway, I'm sorry if it sounds like we're a bunch of Scrooges; we're more like Bob Cratchits trying to keep the business working smoothly.  I hope that you'll keep contributing.

 * Delete per Mandsford. Is there a good place to transwiki this content?  It's not appropriate for Wikipedia but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be included somewhere.  Eluchil404 (talk) 04:26, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
