Proposed deletion of Greenbelt Arts Center

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Greenbelt Arts Center, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Non-notable building - only reference is its own site

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Hey Kb3mlmsk, & welcome to Wikipedia! The Greenbelt Arts Center article needs some reliable third-party sources to establish that it is notable. If there's any news articles about this building, for instance, those would be helpful. I can help you format those if you have any. Let me know if you have any questions!

Would these qualify?

I've went ahead and added some sources and removed the deletion tag. Feel free to add more to the article. FlyingToaster 18:07, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much! Could you explain to me what makes something notable on Wikipedia?, because most of my articles end up with deletion tags on them, lol. Kb3mlmsk (talk) 18:10, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Greenbelt Arts Center

Hi KB, I was just looking at Greenbelt Arts Center (the article not the building), and did some tweaks to the article, here is what they are (might find it helpful on your next one):

The first instance of the title of the article is in bold (done by adding ''' before and after what you are bolding)
Cities/town article names are titled under City, State not using their two letter postal abbreviation (example Greenbelt, Maryland not Greenbelt, MD), while using the abbreviation will get you there, it is via a redirect, so it is best to spell out the state name.
You can utilizepipelinks so that you can link to both the city and the state, for example Greenbelt, Maryland
The official website goes in the External links section, not as a citation after the name, you can see what I did on the page.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on The Actor's Journey, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of The Actor's Journey and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.
