Talk:Stanley Street, Liverpool

Untitled comments

Hi, please don't delete my article. I spent ages on it and have done and demostrated my research. I don't understand why you would want to delete it? I need some help, on how to make it look like all the other wikipedia articles...The article was cleared by jimfbleak yesterday, so I can't understand what has changed?

WP:EFFORT is not a reason for avoiding deletion. This article is an almost direct copy of Liverpool gay quarter. Michellecrisp (talk) 00:39, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

The speedy tag was erroneous, as the article was not previously the subject of a deletion discussion; the relevant deletion log entry is here. It was previously speedied. --Tkynerd (talk) 00:51, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for all your comments. As I am new to wikipedia, it has been frustrating to hear that my first article is up for deletion on the first day. I understand that there are reasons. However, I hope this is the place where I can put my views forward. Stanley Street is an important street for Liverpool's gay community, just like Canal Street in Manchester. I was saddened to see that there was no mention of it already, hence the reason I wrote the article. It has also been in local newspapers quite a lot recently as we now have the prospect of a pedestrianised gay quarter. Whilst Stanley St is just one street, The Gay Quarter is several streets, and is an area encompassing all the gay venues, so I felt that there should be two separate articles - one for Stanley St - one for the Gay Quarter. I have attempted to change some of the text in both articles, so that they give different bits of information. If this is not enough, please let me know how I can improve.
