Proposed deletion of Adirondack Lean-to

Another user placed a {{prod}} tag on the page Adirondack Lean-to because of the concern, "No references, no indication of notability sufficient for an article". A prod tag asks that a page be deleted.

I removed that tag because I believe the concept of the Adirondack lean-to may be notable, a requirement for any Wikipedia article. However, articles must also be verifiable, which means they must cite reliable third-party sources that other Wikipedia users can consult to verify the information on the page. Please help improve this article by citing reliable sources.

The article also needs to be formatted according to Wikipedia's Manual of Style, including the addition of internal links, expansion of the lead section, proper use of capital letters, and other particulars. Other editors, including me, will help with this, but if you can make some of these additions, it will be most appreciated.

Thank you again for your contributions, and happy editing. Cnilep (talk) 21:11, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Take care with conflicts of interest

You created the page Adirondack lean-to and added an external link to http://millandhammer.com/Mill_and_hammer/History.html, a company selling lean-to structures. Mill and Hammer appears to be operated by someone named Jonathan Gorgas, a name very similar to your user name. Editors should refrain from editing pages that may promote their own external interests and should not add commercial links, per WP:Conflict of interest. If you are Jonathan Gorgas, please do not edit pages related to Adirondack lean-tos or other products that may be offered by Mill and Hammer, and do not add external links to Mill and Hammer to any pages on Wikipedia. See also Wikipedia:Spam for policies on advertising and promotional language. Cnilep (talk) 16:16, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
