Speedy deletion nomination of Nasheed Bay

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.

A tag has been placed on Nasheed Bay, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. andy (talk) 12:15, 22 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

My page is being deleted. I need help in keeping it on Wikipedia. Thanks. The site is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Mamujeeb97/Nasheed_Bay.

Mamujeeb97 (talk) 11:15, 23 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi Mamujeeb97. The article was deleted yesterday as an A3, meaning that it did not actually have any content. If you were to move the article into the mainspace right now, it wouldn't fall under the same category, but it would still be deleted. One of the requirements for an articles is notability, which means that there should be third-party coverage of the topic. Now, I am guessing you are involved in creating "Nasheed Bay", but at the moment it hasn't been covered in reliable sources. Until the topic is notable, there is no way you will be able to keep it on Wikipedia. I hope that answers your question, feel free to leave me a message if it doesn't WormTT 11:35, 23 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of The Islamic Academy

edit
 

The article The Islamic Academy has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The article fails the WP:ORG guidelines and based on the sources available appears unlikely to address this in the future. The provisions of WP:NHS do not apply to primary and middle schools.

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. (talk) 06:57, 10 March 2011 (UTC)Reply


Do you have any suggestions?Mamujeeb97 (talk) 12:02, 12 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

First, you are a relatively new editor, and the explanation given to you contains some jargon that is immediately obvious to veteran editors, but may not be completely clear to newer editors. If you have any questions about why it has been proposed for deletion, please ask.
The article does have two references, but in both cases, they are merely directory listings verifying that the school exists. To be included in Wikipedia, a subject must be notable, that is, it must be the subject of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". So far, there is zero evidence of that coverage.
Procedurally, anyone can contest a prod, and you have done so. However, the normal next step is for someone to list it at AFD. While I'm not a regular participant there, I would guess it would fail, because, as I mentioned there are zero example of significant coverage. In short, you have to find such examples. They do not have to be online, although online sources are often the easiest to find and verify.
I did a quick Google search, and didn't find much promising. Is it possible there have been articles written about the school, which may not have used the name "The Islamic Academy for Peace"? Is it possibly the subject of books which might not show up in an online search?
And not to be discouraging, but primary and middle schools are not automatically deemed to be notable for a reason; they rarely are notable. I have seen a few examples of article on elementary schools, ironically in Massachusetts, as I ran across a handful while doing some other cleanup, but my impression is that most of them would not survive an AFD. It isn't all that common for such a school to receive more than trivial coverage. Some of those that do are long-time institutions with a hundred year plus history, which obviously doesn't apply here.--SPhilbrickT 13:33, 12 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

The Mark of Athena is the third book in the The Heroes of Olympus series written by Rick Riordan. It is the third book in the series and is preceded by The Son of Neptune

A prophecy by Ella the Harpy, while with Percy, Hazel, and Frank, refers to this as well. Translated from Latin to English it says:

"Wisdom's daughter walks alone, The Mark of Athena burns through Rome."

Development

edit

Rick Riordan has been working on The Mark of Athena since the completion of The Son of Neptune. While Amazon.com released information on the book, including page numbers, Rick mentioned that the book wasn't finished yet. So the information is deemed speculative.

During his tour to promote the last of The Kane Chronicles books, titled The Serpent's Shadow, Rick read part of the first chapter of The Mark of Athena. There, it is revealed that Annabeth Chase is one of the narrators. The cover and full first chapter were released on June 1st on the Disney Heroes of Olympus website.

Synopsis

edit

In The Son of Neptune, Percy, Hazel, and Frank met in Camp Jupiter, the Roman equivalent of Camp Half-Blood, and traveled to the land beyond the gods to complete a dangerous quest. The third book in the Heroes of Olympus series will unite them with Jason, Piper, and Leo. But they number only six--who will complete the Prophecy of Seven?

The Greek and Roman demigods will have to cooperate in order to defeat the giants released by the Earth Mother, Gaea. Then they will have to sail together to the ancient land--Greece itself--to find the Doors of Death. What exactly are the Doors of Death? Much of the prophecy remains a mystery...

With old friends and new friends joining forces, a marvelous ship, fearsome foes, and an exotic setting, The Mark of Athena promises to be another unforgettable adventure by master storyteller Rick Riordan." [3]

“Told from the perspectives of four different demigods, including Annabeth from Percy Jackson and the Olympians, The Mark of Athena unites the Greek and Roman main characters from The Lost Hero and The Son of Neptune. In a fantastical ship called the Argo II, seven demigods journey by air across the United States and by sea to Rome on their quest to defeat the earth mother, Gaea. Meanwhile, war is breaking out between the Roman and Greek demigods they left behind, and only Annabeth holds the key to restoring peace.”

"Annabeth is terrified. Just when she's about to be reunited with Percy, after six months of being apart, thanks to Hera, it looks like Camp Jupiter is preparing for war. As Annabeth and her friends Jason, Piper, and Leo fly in on the Argo II, she can't blame the Roman demigods for thinking the ship is a Greek weapon. With its steaming bronze dragon masthead, Leo's fanatical creation doesn't appear friendly. Annabeth hopes that the sight of their praetor Jason on deck will reassure the Romans that the visitors from Camp Half-Blood are coming in peace.

And that's only one of her worries. In her pocket Annabeth carries a gift from her mother that came with an unnerving demand: Follow the Mark of Athena. Avenge me. Annabeth already feels weighed down by the prophecy that will send seven demigods to find-and close- the Doors of Death. What more does Athena want from her?

Annabeth's biggest fear, though, is that Percy might have changed. What if he's now attached to Roman ways? Does he still need his old friends? As the daughter of the goddess of war and wisdom, Annabeth knows she was born to be a leader, but never again does she want to be without Seaweed Brain by her side.

Narrated by four demigods, The Mark of Athena is an unforgettable journey across land and sea to Rome, where important discoveries, surprising sacrifices and unspeakable horrors await. Climb aboard the Argo II, if you dare..."

Plot

edit

While getting ready to land at Camp Jupiter, Annabeth Chase prepares by making sure the back-up plans are ready in case something goes wrong, as well as the back-ups to the back-up plans. While Leo Valdez was flying the Argo II with a control system that involved Wii remotes, a dubstep sound board, a keyboard, and a monitor, Annabeth tried to keep Gleeson Hedge from attacking the first thing he saw by making him watch reruns of mixed martial arts championships in his cabin. Jason Grace prepared by putting on a purple toga over his orange Camp Half-Blood t-shirt and Piper McLean practiced her lines for when they landed. As Annabeth watched Jason, she wondered if this could all be a trap as she was still a bit untrusting of Jason as he seemed to be too perfect. She also was reminded of how much she missed Percy Jackson every time she looked at him.

Annabeth also mentions feeling a mysterious chill, as if "an evil snowman had crept up behind her and was peering over her neck." Annabeth wished she could pray to her mother, but this would be impossible as Athena had appeared to her about a month ago, an encounter Annabeth described as horrible. Athena also gave Annabeth the worst present of her life during this meeting. Soon, the horns from Camp Jupiter sounded below as the campers spotted the Argo II.

Annabeth Chase is amazed at the size of Camp Jupiter, which is twice the size of Camp Half Blood, and recognizes the landmarks that Jason has told her about. She sees evidence of the Romans' recent battle, including the cracked dome of the Senate House.

An explosion nearly knocks Annabeth overboard, and Terminus, the Roman god of boundaries, appears on the Argo II. He shrieks that he will not allow weapons inside the Pomerian Line, and grumbles at Jason for consorting with "the enemies of Rome", Greeks. Piper tries to charmspeak Terminus but he slaps her dagger out of her hands, with magic, for her impertinence. Since New Rome is stil recovering from the recent battle, Terminus announces that if he was at his full strength, he would have already blasted the "flying monstrosity" out of the sky, to which Leo takes offence. Annabeth tries to regain control of the situation and calm everyone down, by introducing herself to Terminus, who finds that Annabeth being the daughter of Athena, the Greek form of Minerva, is "scandalous". But before Annabeth can question Terminus on what he means, Jason interupts and asks for permission to land inside the Pomerian Line.

Then, Terminus tells them to "Surrender, then leave." and 'slaps' Leo's face for asking what the the options are. This interests Leo even more and he asks if he can take a look at Terminus' gears. Terminus makes Leo drop the screwdriver, announcing "Weapons are not allowed on Roman soil inside the Pomerian Line." as he includes the Argo II as a weapon. Annabeth spots Percy walking with Frank,"a boy with a black buzz cut" and Hazel, "a girl wearing a Roman cavalry helmet", like they're best friends. She also recognizes that he is now Praetor, as he is wearing a purple cape - her heart does a gymnastics routine.

Annabeth orders Leo to stop the ship, as she asks Terminus whether there is a rule against the ship hovering over New Rome. She explains that technically the ship will not be touching Roman soil and they will use a rope ladder to get down to the Forum, promising Terminus that all their weapons will stay on the ship, as long as the legion reinforcements will honor the same rules.

When questioned by Leo, who asks if this is a good idea, Annabeth clenches her fists to stop them from shaking. She feels the cold presence, which seems to be laughing at her and the bad choices she's making. But she knows that Percy is down there, and that she has to see him. She replies, it will be fine and Terminus will make sure that both sides will obey the rules, if Terminus agrees. Terminus sniffs, but agrees "For now." and allows them to climb down the ladder to New Rome, but pleads that they will not destroy his town.

Percy Jackson Task-force

edit

Hi, I'm looking to help revamp the Percy Jackson Task-force, a project dedicated to maintaining articles related to Rick Riordan and Percy Jackson & the Olympians. I noticed your edits on some articles that fall under this task-force's "jurisdiction", and I wanted to invite you to join! If you're interested, I'd like to invite you to become a full member; please note that the difficult requirements for membership are going to be lowered in the near future, so you can join worry-free (I know they scared me away on the first try.). You can also become just a "supporter", if that's more your speed.

Head on over to the project page if you're interested -- and no hard feelings if you're not. Thanks again in advance, and feel free to contact me on my Talk page. 2ReinreB2 (talk) 05:41, 23 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
