A tag has been placed on Grandfield Lutheran Church, Sheyenne, ND, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}}
on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Leuko 17:26, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Notability of Spirit Lake Casino
editA tag has been placed on Spirit Lake Casino, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

License tagging for Image:Totten.jpg
editThanks for uploading Image:Totten.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 23:10, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
Spirit Lake Casino
editA {{prod}} template has been added to the article Spirit Lake Casino, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. Clicketyclack 08:24, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
WPND
editHappy to see a new member join WikiProject North Dakota! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. --MatthewUND(talk) 06:37, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
- I might also point out that you're going to want to be careful about creating articles for subjects of rather dubious notability. Within North Dakota, something like Central North Dakota Steam Thresher's Reunion might be notable enough for its own article, but that notability probably doesn't translate into being notable enough for its own article on here. --MatthewUND(talk) 06:39, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
- I'm very happy to have you aboard! I hope I didn't offend you be mentioning that it is best to create articles for only notable subjects. Like you, I love North Dakota and I would like to have articles for all sorts of things in the state which, in reality, really aren't all that notable outside of the state. We just have to remember that, in the end, an article about a non-notable subject is bound to eventually get deleted. Because of that, it's best not to waste our time working on articles which are destined for deletion. See you around! --MatthewUND(talk) 22:01, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
- The Log Cabin Museum, Sheyenne, ND article was speedily deleted after you, the main author of the page, requested that it be deleted. I've recently become an "administrator" which means I can now take care of things like deleting a page. Let me know if you ever need help! --MatthewUND(talk) 22:19, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
Answers to your questions
editFirst of all, you might want to take a lok at Talk:North Dakota State Bison football to see my response pertaining to the article's low importance rating. I hope that answers your question for the time being. Next, don't worry about what Google lists. Even though the article you're talking about has already been deleted, the Google database will probably take a while to realize that the article is gone. However, after a while, the link to the deleted article will no longer show up in Google. Lastly, about your question pertaining to bringing an article up to a higher class, that is done by thoughtful expansion and improvement of the article. One of the more important things that needs to be done in order for an article to have a higher rating is to make sure that the article is thoroughly sourced. If you have any further questions, you know where to find me. --MatthewUND(talk) 22:52, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
Museum pic
editUnfortunately, on Wikipedia we are not able to use images that you find on an external website. Image:Museumfacingnorth.jpg was taken from http://www.rogermarismuseum.com/museum/. I've removed the image from The Roger Maris Museum article and listed the image at Wikipedia:Copyright problems. The result will probably be that the image will be deleted. I invite you to scan through Wikipedia:Copyrights to learn more about what types of images may and may not be used on Wikipedia. When in doubt, it is almost always better to use an image that you took yourself and that you've released into the public domain. --MatthewUND(talk) 01:35, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

SPA
editI a member of the staff for Summer Performing Arts and Red River High School, so I have a vast knowledge of the subject, but I do not have the time right now to write an article. If you would like to start the article, go ahead. I will chip in my thoughts and such, and if you have any questions please feel free to ask. Just make sure you establish notablitiy (over 1000 students, 2004 stage directions techincal theatre grant award, etc). If you need any more ideas for notability, please leave a message on my talk page. I check my watchlist often. Thanks, -JWGreen 02:51, 31 August 2007 (UTC) (Jordan Green, Technical Staff, Grand Forks Public Schools)
- I would think twice before making a SPA page. I'm not sure that other users would feel the group was notable enough for an article. Keep the Faith would probably be the one and only thing that might make it notable enough for an article, but even that is pushing it. --MatthewUND(talk) 05:18, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm posting a message to all members of Wikipedia:WikiProject_European_history to make sure everyon is aware that there is a proposal (apparently never discussed on at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_European_history to deprecate the project and mark it {{historical}} supplanting it with Wikipedia:WikiProject_History/Task_forces/Europe. Whether or not this should occur, we need to have as much discussion as possible. So far, only two editors have had anything to say about it.

Your source(s) for Rock Township
editI've been reviewing your contributions to Rock Township, and they are missing reliable, verifiable sources per WP:VERIFIABILITY and WP:Reliable sources. I am working on populating articles for all of the townships in North Dakota, and think your contributions will fit well. However, in order to clean up the article to meet Wikipedia standards, could you please provide what source or sources you used for the history information in the article, such as a website or which particular book you used. If the information is based on your personal knowledge of the township, that is OK to a point, but to avoid the prohibition on original research, it needs to be verified by some other source as well. If the information cannot be verified by a reliable source, it may have to be deleted. I have access to a number of historical documents through the State Library here in Bismarck, and would like to help improve and provide proper citations for the article. Please respond here or on my talk page with the information.DCmacnut<> 01:05, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
- I just did a quick check with the ND state library site and ODIN catalog, and that particular book does not seem to be available in any library in the state. Google Books also doesn't pull it up. However, I would take you at your word that the text came from that source. It should be sufficient to just add that source to the article. Thanks for the response.DCmacnut<> 20:29, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for all your work on that article, it's one of the best I've seen on a small town. I'd like to nominate it for Good Article status, do you think you could help out by adding some citations? The intro and history parts, for example. Thanks! --AW (talk) 06:38, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
