Question edit

Do you know why my article is not visible on Wikipedia yet? Miriam584 (talk) 23:15, 1 August 2013 (UTC)Miriam584Reply

You would be better of asking this at a Wikipedia:Help desk. Asking here is like asking a question to yourself, not many will read it. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 14:01, 13 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
 

The article International Study of the Organized Persecution of Children: A Project of Child Development Research has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This seems to fail notability. It is not clear why this is a suitable topic for an encycloopedia.

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.
