Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Environmental data rescue and recovery requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Your contributed article, Data Preservation
edit If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Data Preservation. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Data retention. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Data retention. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 14:26, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
- Hi! I've moved this to your userspace so that you can work on this a bit more without fear of deletion, as it will likely take a while to show how the two concepts are different. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 23:06, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
- I'll take a deeper look in a little bit and give you a more in-depth recommendation then. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 23:09, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
- Hmm... on the article it says that the two are considered to be the same, so you may get some resistance to creating a new article. I think that for the time being I would recommend creating a subsection for the data retention article that goes into detail about data preservation and also shows how the two differ, since the two aren't exactly the same. They're similar and they overlap, but they do have some subtle differences. This will give you a good foundation to creating an article about data preservation as a whole. Let me know if you need any help. One thing I can definitely recommend is that you need sourcing that is specifically about data preservation as well as content that covers both concepts and would show the difference between the two. I'm not sure if this can be used as a reliable source offhand, but it could be helpful with finding other things.
- If your college has to it, I definitely recommend looking at LISA. It's abstracts, but it could help point you in the right direction. I can pretty much guarantee that you're going to have to go the academic database route for this offhand, as the difference between the two will be something that will be most covered and noticed by academics and people within the digital preservation field or that heavily deal with this. I actually received my MLIS in digital archiving, so let me know if you need help looking for sourcing.
- Also, be extremely careful about writing in an essay narrative and make sure that you avoid overusing quotes. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:57, 22 November 2017 (UTC)
