Deletion edit

Though this article is very poorly written and has no sources, I think this article's subject is notable enough to merit keeping — and I consider myself a deletionist, generally speaking. Most other Native American casinos of this size have articles. I'm going to work on this one to improve it. Realkyhick 17:06, 14 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

This article describes a Tribally owned and operated economic facility, a resort in eastern Oregon, that is of interest to people who may want to visit the resort, but also to people who may want to note the significant economic contribution of this resort to the three Tribes who own and operate it.
Give me a few minutes to work on this. If notability still debatable, please take it to AFD. Katr67 17:08, 14 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
Sorry, I may have stepped on an edit of yours. I didn't see the work-in-progress tag. I reformatted the lead paragraph and added a link to the casino's web site, but that's it. A policy reminder: Don't remove a speedy-delete tag, even one with a hangon tag next to it, unless you're an admin or the person who put the speedy tag there in the first place.

No worries, but for the record, the tag says:
"If this page does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, or you intend to fix it, please remove this notice, but do not remove this notice from pages that you have created yourself. If you created this page and you disagree with this page’s proposed speedy deletion, please add:
{{hangon}}"
Anyone but the article's author can contest a speedy. Thanks. Katr67 17:31, 14 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
Actually, anyone at all can contest a speedy, including the author. In fact, most contests are from the author. (I apply lots of speedy tags on new-page patrol.) I think you may have meant, "Anyone but the article's author can remove a speedy." Realkyhick 18:16, 14 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
P.S. Saying an article is "poorly written" is a wee bit uncivil and bitey towards a good faith effort by a newbie. Thanks for helping out with the article! Katr67 17:45, 14 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
Sorry about that. May have been a bit harsh there. By the way, I have moved the article to the proper title, with redirects from the old title left in place. I'll work on some more sources, too. Realkyhick 18:16, 14 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
