Speedy deletion nomination of Brooklyn Central University

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Brooklyn Central University requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Fenix down (talk) 15:05, 1 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Ad Orientem. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the main body of Brooklyn Central University. Generally, any relevant external links should be listed in an "External links" section at the end of the article and meet the external links guidelines. Links within the body of an article should be internal Wikilinks. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Unsourced Material

edit

Hi Tyler. Please don't add anymore material to Brooklyn Central University without also adding reliable and verifiable secondary sources. Primary sources are usually sufficient to establish the existence of a topic but not much more than that. At present the only source cited is the school's website. Also please be careful that you are not using Wikipedia for promotional purposes. Articles suspected of being promotional or SPAM can be deleted. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Best regards... -Ad Orientem (talk) 14:21, 3 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add or change content, as you did to Brooklyn Central University, without verifying it by citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Please stop adding unsourced material to this article. I will revert any further additions that do not have WP:RS sources cited. Thank you. Ad Orientem (talk) 14:54, 3 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Warning: Creating Hoax Articles

edit
 

Do not create, add, maintain, insert, or restore hoaxes on Wikipedia, such as you did with the article Brooklyn Central University. Usually, hoaxes will be caught and marked for deletion shortly after they are created. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia – and then to correct them if possible. Please do not disrupt Wikipedia. Feel free to take a look at the five pillars of Wikipedia to learn more about this project and how you can contribute constructively. Thank you. -Ad Orientem (talk) 18:04, 5 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
