Page Deletion Help

I am trying to make the architecture articles become more complete and accurate as they are still mostly undeveloped. One issue I keep running into is people self-promoting. I bring it up to you because you were on the talk page of Earl_S._Bell. If you check the links and references on his page it is clear that all of the infamous projects (he) mentions are simply defunct personal projects not of significance. I am wondering what the process is for deletion of such pages. I understand on some pages there are deletion votes, but a page like that wouldn't get enough visitors to work that way I doubt.

Also, I was wondering if you know what the purpose of List_of_emerging_architects is? It seems like this page is just asking for self-solicitation. I am resonably sure that all of the architects listed are just average folks. It seems that this page too should be deleted as it will not serve as any sort of encyclopedic use.

Thanks for your help! I am new to this kind of editing. axiomflash 15:16, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

There are many options, but you can look at Wikipedia:Guide to deletion for what the criteria for deletion is, and the processes that you can go through to nominate something for deletion. Or, you can find a suitable template for a particular instance in Wikipedia:Template messages to request that sources/references be provided, or even to tag an article to question the "importance" or encyclopedic nature of the subject matter. Just remember to Assume Good Faith. While many articles may be vanity, they may also be easily salvagable if someone just took the time to verify them and WP:NPOV them.

I just got back into to town, and it appears the Hip hop architecture article was deleted already and Dawson gave you the appropriate advice for future deletion candidates. Happy editing. Hyacinth 23:28, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
