Proposed deletion of Slow living[edit]

The article Slow living has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

non-notable movement with no significant secondary coverage instead all publications and sources are self published from within the movement

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Sadads (talk) 09:16, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you have any questions about the nomination for deletion or if you would like to WP:Userfy the article for future improvement, please contact me here or on my talk page, Sadads (talk) 09:16, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Slow living[edit]

The information you have added back - which I have re-removed - was unreferenced and unencyclopedic. The external links serve nothing but to promote certain 'slow living' organisations - so they have also been removed. Is this topic even notable? Giant Snowman 18:29, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, GiantSnowman. I do think this is a notable topic. And while I see that you want references, by taking out so much the page now says very little about the concept. Perhaps there is a compromise here. Do you only want quoted sources? If so, I am willing to look around for some. With a quick search, I did find the references below. They may lead to something useful. I have also had this discussion with another editor who thought it wasn't a significant topic, but after sending him several links he agreed that it was. I guess this is the nature of Wikipedia. Give me a sense of what you'd like to see, and I'll see what I can do.

There is a book with the title "Slow Living": http://www.bloomsbury.com/us/slow-living-9781845201609/
The Guardian has an article: http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2009/apr/15/go-slow-movement-health-wellbeing
The Huffington Post has several articles that are tagged or mention "slow living".

I would like to see every claim supported by a reliable source, and the content of the article meet our [[WP:N|notability and neutral point-of-view requirements. It should not be used to promote a concept and/or companies linked to the concept. Giant Snowman 13:06, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good. It may take awhile, but I'll see what I can do. Snailwiki (talk) 15:42, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: L. H. Musgrove (November 30)[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 Robert McClenon was:

Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at L. H. Musgrove instead.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Two copies of this page have been created, in draft space and in article space. It is not necessary to create two copies of the same page, and it annoys the reviewers. This is sometimes done in order to bypass Articles for Creation review. However, if a submitter is ready to have the article in article space, it can be moved into article space, rather than creating a copy. It is common for a page that has been duplicated in draft space and in article space to be nominated for deletion or proposed for deletion. If the article is kept, this draft should be redirected to the article. If the article is deleted, this draft may be kept for future improvement.

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:L. H. Musgrove and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:L. H. Musgrove, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 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.

Hello, Snailwiki! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Robert McClenon (talk) 17:04, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help,Robert McClenon. I admit that I found the instructions confusing for creating the article, so thanks again for clearing that up. I just now tried to follow your instructions for requesting deletion of the draft page, but the link redirected me to the non-Draft page (where I mistakenly tried it there. I think I corrected that!). I'll just leave it all alone at this point and let those who are better versed in Wiki editing handle things. Snailwiki (talk) 20:11, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
