Speedy deletion nomination of Avon Middle High School[edit]

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

User:Mrpearse1/Avon Middle High School[edit]

Hello MrPearse1. I have had to delete your nascent article from mainspace as it did not have any content however I did read about your class project and with that in mind I have moved the placeholder you created in to your userspace. You can find it here - User:Mrpearse1/Avon Middle High School. It usual practice for drafts to be created and perfected in userspace before moving in to meainspace - this ensures that they are fully formed articles by the time they "go live" and thus are less likely to be deleted.

A few words of advice, it is generally accepted that Junior Highs are not inherently notable and thus in order to meet the Wikipedia's notability guidelines they need to have a specific, notable distinction in status (e.g., the Blue Ribbon Schools Program in the U.S. and Beacon School, Training school, or 'Grade 1' outstanding Office for Standards in Education overall assessment in the UK). I just mention this as I would hate for your students to put a lot of time and effort in to an article only for it to be nominated for deletion on the grounds of lack of notability. Best of luck, Nancy ^talk 17:51, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
