Speedy deletion nomination of Canadian Southern Baptist Seminary and College
Hello Claobasem,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Canadian Southern Baptist Seminary and College for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Please write neutrally
You cannot write "beautiful 149 – acre site" because "beautiful" is subjective. If it's within a quote from someone else, then maybe it would stand. The same goes for "lovely 16,000-squarefoot building housing offices, classrooms, and a growing library of 30,000 books." Also, do not just delete references. Articles need references for verifiability. Enwebb (talk) 14:46, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
Great! I'll make those changes asap, some of the references don't apply, why should I keep them?
- You now have a bunch of uncited information, which is apt to be deleted over and over again. Add citations if you want the content to last. If you don't have citations, editors will think that you are adding original research, which is not allowed. Enwebb (talk) 15:07, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
Could let me know what I should be citing, like I said, I'm very new to this? I appreciate your help! I did have a reference on there but now it has been deleted, I'm not sure why?
- Essentially, everything needs to be cited. I was the one who deleted the reference to the Christian music festival source because you have it after "...is a university-level institution in Cochrane, Alberta, Canada, founded in July 1986." Nowhere in that source does it say that it was founded in July 1986. Where did you get that information? That is the reference that should follow that source. Please read Wikipedia:Attribution for more information. A key takeaway is that Wikipedia articles must be based on reliable sources. Since you are new, it is important to ask questions if you need help or don't understand a policy. Almost any editor is willing to help you if you ask them a question, but you can find editors especially willing to help you at the Teahouse. Another helpful hint is to sign your talk page posts (like this one) by typing four tildes (~). That will autofill your signature and the date/time. Enwebb (talk) 15:26, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
Thanks I appreciate your help. Someone else put in the references, not sure where they got that article from, but I do know where I can add it! I will look and see where it will be appropriate to add references! Thanks again.--Claobasem (talk) 15:32, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
