Proposed deletion of Back Country Camping Assateague Island

edit
 

The article Back Country Camping Assateague Island has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not an encyclopedia article. Wikipedia is not a travel guide.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Regarding your posts on my talk page: if you would like actual constructive advice, please read the policies and guidelines I have provided on this page. You are new here, and your boldness is understandable, but Wikipedia has policies and guidelines that are requirements for articles. I'm not attempting to "pull rank" on you, but familiarizing yourself with a community's policies and guidelines is a good idea for any endeavor. I would recommend reading the policy on original research (which explains why anecdotes from your experiences are not suitable article content) and the guideline on reliable sources] (which explains how sourcing works). You linked to a definition of what an encyclopedia is; here is Wikipedia's. If you have questions, please ask here. --Kinu t/c 04:18, 21 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
