- I see you're interested in California local history! One thing that's really important in Wikipedia is citing sources... so a statement about some plant that cattle cannot eat, needs a citation... If you need help with citation gathering and format, there's a ton of great information in those links above this note; if you need more help, don't hesitate to contact me. I hope you're happy with the citationing I did on your edits to Yreka, California, I saw you took out the paragraph breaks, thanks, I forgot to do that! Ellin Beltz (talk) 15:50, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

Sacramento and Comedy
editI deleted the article because it didn't say anything about why anyone should care about it. It did not assert any notability. The only sources it cited were the comedy club's own webpage. Maybe this is a famous comedy club that millions of people know about and has dozens of news articles about it. But how should I know? You didn't say any of that.
Tell me why the comedy club is notable -- and first, make sure you know what 'notability' actually means. And if you can't show that it's notable, then why should it have an article? DS (talk) 18:12, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
- "That is very harsh." -- It's what happens when you post an article like that to Wikipedia's mainspace.You have to explain why anyone should care. "How about it is the only teaching club in Northern California? And they put on the Sacramento Comedy festival?" -- how was I supposed to know that? You didn't say anything about it. "I think that you are way out of line about this." -- You're free to think that. DS (talk) 21:14, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
- I have to agree with DragonflySixtyseven. The article didn't cite any third-party sources and had no claim of notability. "Festivals" are a common feature of improv comedy organizations; that on its own is not a claim of notability. Huon (talk) 22:21, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
- "the article has been up for at least a month and was edited by another ... like I said in the previous exchange, with so many minor entries in Wiki.... this seems like a waste of time to me..." - It was up for just under a month before I caught it; there's a huge backlog. The only other edits to it were by bots or by people using automated tools to add category tags. If you feel that there are entries on Wikipedia that shouldn't be included, you're free to tag them for deletion; we can always use more sets of eyes. Make sure to read the instructions on how to do it (for instance, don't blank articles or add the words 'DELETE THIS'). And you're absolutely right, this argument is a waste of time. Glad you agree. DS (talk) 23:56, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
Hello! Six years later, The Sacramento Comedy Spot and the Sacramento Comedy Foundation have grown to be quite notable in the region, has received a ton of press and has trained several notable comedians and actors. I'd like to give the article a shot, I think I can demonstrate notability and a neutral POV. I'm an experienced editor but this will be the first (or one of the first, depending on what I complete first) article I'm composing. I assume that whatever was posted previously wasn't the best quality work, so I figure starting from scratch is the best strategy. Any other thoughts on this as you were the one who previously deleted the article? Thanks DFS (talk) 18:23, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

Hello Statelywaynemanor. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled "Ross Hammond".
The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. HasteurBot (talk) 04:04, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
Clarification of addition of WikiProjects
editWelcome back from your long break. Draft:Terry Lee Hale has not been accepted. The backlog at Articles for Creation has grown to such proportions that it may not be reviewed for another month. It has some significant sourcing problems: discogs.com, being user-generated, is not a reliable source and should not be used as a reference; self-published blogs, with extremely limited exceptions, are not reliable sources; and the entire career section cites no sources, which probably isn't going to fly given the current rules around biographies of living persons. You may want to try to fix those issues while you wait for a formal review.
The addition of the WikiProjects to the draft is to help reviewers find drafts they're interested in reviewing, and to attract new reviewers to Articles for Creation. --Worldbruce (talk) 02:17, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
- If Hale releasing 17 LPs is how he satisfies the notability guidelines for musicians, then put that in the lead.
- Procedures have their advantages and disadvantages. If you're disgusted by articles that are obvious autobiographies or are about total nobodies, then pitch in and help clean them up. If the subject is notable, but the sourcing is poor or the writing is biased, those things can be fixed by finding better sources and by editing. Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Sources has suggestions regarding sources. Subjects that aren't notable can be deleted through Articles for deletion. Doing the necessary research can be time consuming, but the policies and guidelines ensure that readers can verify for themselves whether Wikipedia is an accurate summary of credible sources or just the opinion of some random guy blogging from his mother's basement. It sounds as if you would like Wikipedia to be trustworthy, even if you dislike the procedures. --Worldbruce (talk) 06:02, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
