Speedy deletion nomination of Westview Observatory

Hello Charlemagne920,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Westview Observatory for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. ubiquity (talk) 18:53, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Westview Observatory

Thanks for interacting with me on this. I tagged your article because it seemed unlikely to me that a private, amateur observatory would have the kind of notability required for Wikipedia. None of this is to disparage your observatory, which I'm sure is a boon to the local community. But that doesn't make it notable in the Wikipedia sense of the word. Please take a look at Wikipedia:Notability, particularly the General notability guideline, which states that article subjects need to have received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject (that is, not the observatory's own website, or a thank you note in a local school newsletter). If you have such sources, you should immediately add them to the article; this will absolutely ward off speedy deletion. If you don't, you should at least make a strong assertion, in the lead sentence, about the observatory's notability, e.g. (hypothetical) "The Westview Observatory is a private, amateur astronomical observatory in Cridersville, Ohio, known for having the largest privately owned telescope in Ohio" or "...known for its widely-lauded outreach program to local school children" or whatever. This may be enough to ward off a speedy, though without any sources, the article may be nominated for a deletion discussion anyway.

If you want to protect a version of the article that you can work on without being distracted by deletion discussions and speedy tags, I suggest you either work on it in your own sandbox, or other user page or in the Drafts: namespace.

Good luck! Please let me know if I can help. ubiquity (talk) 03:21, 30 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
