Speedy deletion of Atlas thon[edit]

A tag has been placed on Atlas thon requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a club, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guidelines for people and for organizations.

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. ... discospinster _talk 01:50, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history.

Proposed deletion of State patty's day[edit]

The article State patty's day has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:MADEUP

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 {{dated prod}} 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 {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Atlas THON[edit]

Hi Mtk180, I saw the Atlas THON article survived a speedy deletion (it was not noticed earlier, but be careful with recreating deleted articles in the future, the article was created back in 2009 and speedily deleted shortly after). A few things will make the page better than it is now:

Provide citations for at least 'bold' claims: e.g. your claim in the first sentence that it is the 'world's largest' - these things need a source right after the sentence ends.
Name the URLs in your references: currently it is just bare links. To invite people to click on them, provide data on what is on the sites you link to. I did the first as an example.
Provide an image: make sure there is no copyright on it, maybe one from the dance event article itself would fit if you provide a suitable caption.

Feel free to ask if you want to know something. Kind regards, Pim Rijkee (talk) 10:31, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The original article, created in 2009, was a poor attempt at creating a Wikipedia article, with limited information and no citations. This is a much more robust article, including multiple independent references that demonstrate that the organizaion is legitimate and national in scale. Therefore, the original speedy deletion in 2009 should have no bearing on this version of the article. I have updated many of the references, including the addition of several more for the more "bold" claims. Let me know if there is anything else you think would make it a better page!

List of important publications in chemistry[edit]

Can you find a source that states that the book you have added to this list is the "defining reference" on electrochemistry? I know that we are rather bad on that list in giving references, but we should try. For many years, we have been having a debate on the talk page about each new entry. I was responsible for doing this. However there was a massive fuss on all these lists last year and I became unclear whether we should continue with that practice. This entry is the first new entry, I think, since then. I may ask on the talk page whether there is consensus for us to continue with the old practice. --Bduke (Discussion) 01:38, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot actually find a reference that says that, other than my own experience in the field. Electrochemistry is a rather esoteric, older field of chemistry that is primarily analytical at this point, and this textbook (at least in my experience) is the standard reference text for all things electrochemistry. If this is not good enough, then I suppose you could remove it from the list, but since the list contained no other electrochemistry publications and there are few other landmark publications in electrochemistry in general, this seemed like an appropriate addition to the list. Mtk180 (talk) 02:17, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You are right. I could just delete it as original research. We really do need sources, not just your experience. I am not going to do so though, but I will, when I have time, look for sources that say somehting about the book and edit the entry to reflect those sources. You might try to do the same. I will raise the general issues on the talk page, again when I have more time. --Bduke (Discussion) 03:12, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
