Speedy deletion nomination of Davenports

A tag has been placed on Davenports 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Primary Sources

Hi. The source you cited on Tim Bray is what we call a Primary Source. While they're better than nothing, we generally try to avoid them. Toddst1 (talk) 22:41, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

@DGG: Might we have the Ebbsfleet Development Corporation restored, please. DevCos being added by Psd are notable governemnt organisations for which there are a plaurality of reliable sources & underlying legislation. We'll make it AfD proof. thx. --Tagishsimon (talk) 21:07, 30 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I see another admin has restored to to draft space. You might want to take a look at related articles: some seem POV. And usually members of the board are excessively detailed content except for the most famous organisations. . DGG ( talk ) 06:29, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I followed the precedence of other pages I found in this area. These are public bodies, so I would have thought listed board members, many of who are in government, are of public interest, but understood about the marketing materials which I had started to weed-out. --Psd (talk) 10:22, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

West Northamptonshire Development Corporation

I see two problems here:

The information seems outdated, and the refsare the Corporation's own PR releases. DGG ( talk ) 04:07, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I tried to introduce better sources for the existing content, but a lot of it seems to be about what they planned to do, rather than did. I'll take another look, as I'm getting more confident as a contributor --Psd (talk) 08:24, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Davenports moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Davenports, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hartlepool Development Corporation moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Hartlepool Development Corporation. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. BoraVoro (talk) 11:08, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for moving it to a draft rather than just deleting it. I would have thought the references I provided for this newly formed public body, including a link to a statutory instrument creating the legal entity would have been sufficient. I'm sure more references will emerge shortly as the body starts its work. Psd (talk) 14:36, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Hartlepool Development Corporation (August 9)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by DoubleGrazing was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Hartlepool Development Corporation and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
