The article Nativity of Our Lord Catholic Church, Chicago has been proposed for deletion. The proposed-deletion notice added to the article should explain why.
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.
- I've contested the proposed deletion for you. Almost any urban church that's been around that long can be proven notable with a little bit of effort. I've added a couple of references to the article. If you'd like some more help, just let me know. (You can leave a message on my talk page, or reply here. Zagalejo^^^ 06:33, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
- I think User:Cindamuse was the one who moved things around; I just added a couple references. But anyway, the article doesn't seem to be in any immediate danger of being deleted, so you can relax a bit. :)
- I know it can be rough around for newcomers. Some people expect articles to perfect from the very beginning. As some general advice, always try to include at least a couple of secondary sources whenever you start an article. That's usually enough to satisfy the Wikipedia notability guideline, and once it's clear to other readers that secondary sources are available on a given subject, they'll usually let you work in peace.
