[edit] Notability of MOSAIC (housing cooperative)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on MOSAIC (housing cooperative), by AKeen (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because MOSAIC (housing cooperative) seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting MOSAIC (housing cooperative), please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 19:09, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

I will undelete it for you to work on; I'm putting on a "prod" tag that will delete it in 5 days unless improved. If you improve it sufficiently, by adding things that make for WP:N and documenting them ,you may remove the tag. (if you do not remove the tag, it gets routinely deleted) If I disagree, I will send it to WP:AFD for a community consensus, and whatever happens there is the decision: I have no particular influence.

as a guide, I mention the commonly used argument: we have a convenient phrase about comparisons: OTHERJUNKEXISTS, -- that there are similar dubious articles is no reason not to delete one of them. So I looked at the page you mentioned: --almost all of that have WP articles are campus-wide arrangements. There were two other individual ones: Ant Hill, a two building complex, also a relatively sparse article, which I have also proposed for deletion, and Qumbya, a three-building one, but with a relatively extensive article. There are also only a few articles about other types of individual university housing unit.

In practice, what you need to do is to write an interesting article, with references. A good photograph doesn't hurt--provided it is original work and that you, or whoever took it, says they are licensing it under GFDL--see WP:Copyright if you want to do that. Good luck with it.DGG (talk) 03:44, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

I created a list of NASCO member cooperatives. You may considering moving information on non-notable coops there and redirecting. I am not saying anything on MOSAIC, but housing coop in the States (outside New York) are so rare, that everyone is at least locally notable. -- Petri Krohn 09:35, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
