Welcome!

Hello, Aizzy8693, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Mayfair Academy of Fine Arts, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Mayfair Academy of Fine Arts edit

 

A tag has been placed on Mayfair Academy of Fine Arts 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 an organization or company, 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 guideline for organizations and companies. 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.

Student User edit

This user is participating in a class project for my History of Chicago course (high school). Students in these classes are in the process of learning Wikipedia while at the same time researching and writing to meet Wikipedia's standards as well as my class standards. Please be patient with these students as they learn and understand that some of the articles they are working on may take longer to complete than some might expect. I will be supervising their efforts as best I can. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me directly. MrSilva (talk) 19:12, 17 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

I know you are working on a class project. Generally, I would remove uncited content. Please add proper citations to the Chicago Defender Building information that you added.
