Talk:Halalt First Nation

No to speedy delete

This is a First Nations government and community. It should be expanded, not deleted. - TheMightyQuill (talk) 20:46, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Totally agreed. I just placed the "hangon" tag. This article and dozens of others like it, of the same stub-created dimensions, are the framework for a lattice/category of official First Nations governments in BC, as part of the infrastructure of the Indigenous Peoples Wikiproject (link template above), where band governments should each have an article, ethnographic articles should be separate even when the constituency is the same - quite often it's not - and placenames/towns should/might also have separate articles, depending on various locational and definitional issues. A look at many articles in Category:First Nations on Vancouver Island (if there is one; otherwise Category:First Nations in British Columbia will show the same outline-template as here; the reason for its existence is to guide non-regular editors, i.e. from the communities/orgs in question, as to what the content of the particular article should be; Halalt or Halalt people (or, in some Native American contexts Halalt (tribe) although the Halalt are BC-only) would be on the ethnographic/cultural aspects of the Halalt; this page is for their government and should have sections (even stub sections) outlining "Council and Chiefs"/"Organization", Issues, Assets, whatever; as with any other government page. In many cases, the stubs I and some others created have been found and expanded upon (Shackan First Nation and Ulkatcho First Nation come to mind, and I think User:OldManRivers has also augmented quite a few. In any case, this article has to exist, and conforms to a loose standard evolved within the Indigenous Wiki Project. The Halalt are notable as part of one of the main treaty negotiations in recent years Te'mexw Treaty Association I think).Skookum1 (talk) 20:27, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

PS I don't have time to research or augment this article. One thing I was going to suggest was that emails be sent to various band councils asking them to find someone in their community to work on their respective articles (under guidance from active editors); a "good article" example must exist somewhere among BC band government articles; but the idea is to get content; implicitly means going around WP:AUTO but with enough objective editorship overseeing things quality/format should be able to be maintained.Skookum1 (talk) 20:29, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Noting further that as a result of all these stubs, the respective group-templates have no remaining redlinks, except the "people" templates (as opposed to the First Nations governments ones...).Skookum1 (talk) 20:35, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
