User talk:ChennaiWiki

Hello WilyD,

Thanks for your note. I have updated the Sridevi Nrithyalaya wiki article based on your suggestions. I have added a section on other similar dance institutions in the area; and provided more external links. I have also changed the content to make it non-advertisement type material. I have also made sure that all the content that I put in the article is verifiable - with several of the references and even just the google search.

Would you please review the article, and please let me know if the changes that I made are in line with what I needed to do. Thank you very much for your time in advance! If I need to contact in some other way, please let me know. (Teahouse?) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:ChennaiWiki/Sridevi_Nrithyalaya

Note that Category:Featured articles has articles that are generally considered to exemplify what we're gunning for. Merely looking at articles on similar topics is not always a good idea, because they might not be very good at all. Wily D 15:53, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Samee and WilyD,

Thank you for your welcome note, and moving the article to user page rather than deleting it as I did not have a saved copy. I will review the wiki guidelines and policies and Edit the article as needed. Please allow me to take a day or two to get up to speed on this.

I am not connected to the featured dance school, I want to share what I thought was exciting and useful to others about the specific style of the dance form that the school teaches and share some of their achievements. I thought I have provided many references as well.

I did mention about a couple of competing schools also (like Kalakshetra) which specializes in a slightly different field; may be I will add few more schools that teach good Bharatanatyam or Kuchipudi art styles to make it more generic information.

Thanks, ChennaiWiki ChennaiWiki (talk) 14:44, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Sridevi Nrithyalaya[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 Sridevi Nrithyalaya, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. sami ^talk 06:59, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I moved the page to User:ChennaiWiki/Sridevi Nrithyalaya, where you can take a bit more time to work on it before it's ready for the big show. I recommend Wikipedia:Your first article as a starting place for understanding how to write articles for Wikipedia. It also links other resources. Cheers, Wily D 11:38, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Sridevi Nrithyalaya (June 17)[edit]

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

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Sridevi Nrithyalaya and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
