[edit] First article information

Dear Awilli10, hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! I'd like to take this opportunity to provide information related to creating articles. First, make sure that an article does not already exist on the subject. Please review the following relevant policies and guidelines. Remember, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, so articles must not contain original research, should cite to reliable sources which verify their content, must be written from a neutral point of view, and can not contain unsourced, negative content about living people, and finally, must not be copied from any other source.

In addition, articles need to assert the notability of the subject. Please see our subject-specific guidelines for people, bands and musicians, companies and organizations and web content. Also be aware that if you are closely associated with the subject, (or are writing about yourself) the conflict of interest guideline strongly recommends against you creating or editing the article.

If you still think your article is appropriate, see Help:Starting a new page. You might also look at Wikipedia:Your first article and Wikipedia:How to write a great article for guidance, and please consider taking a tour through the Wikipedia:Tutorial so that you know how to properly format the article before creation. If you would prefer to get input prior to creating the article, to avoid the possibility that it may be deleted, feel free to post your suggestions at the articles for creation page. Sincerely, ArielGold 15:43, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
Unfortunately, the article you posted was improperly titled at Posting an article on wikipedia, and the header that you perhaps meant to title it is far too long to be a proper article title. Additionally, it is difficult to understand the actual subject of this article, as it lacks context. The article also lacks manual of style formatting, footnotes, and formatting necessary to make it conform to Wikipedia's standards. The content of your article, at least in part, is already covered in the existing article, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (novel), so I'd suggest that you discuss any changes you'd like to make or additions on that article's talk page. Also, as mentioned below, it may help to read the original research page. Cheers ArielGold 15:46, 17 December 2007 (UTC)


A tag has been placed on Posting an article on wikipedia, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

original research

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 15:47, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Women Writers and the Female Experience during the American Industrial Revolution in Betty Smith’s A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

I have nominated Women Writers and the Female Experience during the American Industrial Revolution in Betty Smith’s A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Women Writers and the Female Experience during the American Industrial Revolution in Betty Smith’s A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

[edit] Women writers and the female experience during the American industrial revolution

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Women writers and the female experience during the American industrial revolution, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
