Hello Justalewis,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Western Oregon University Wolves for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. MrScorch6200 ( talk) 18:05, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
Please delete and we'll reupload when we have more content. Thnx! Justalewis ( talk) 18:31, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
I would hope that as a teacher leading a class of students on how to use Wikipedia, you might create something better than this empty article. If you and your class would like to build up an article incrementally, please do so in your user space (perhaps at User:Justalewis/Ackerman Residence Hall) and move the article to article space when there is sufficient material (with citations please) to meet Wikipedia guidelines.

Thank you, WikiDan61 for showing me the correct chain of events from article stub creation to complete article upload. While I appreciate your recommendation to build the article incrementally in the user space, I thought the point of Wikipedia was to build in aggregate over time - ideally with contributions from users outside of the ;circle of students working on this particular project. If users are only encouraged to upload the final product, there certainly wouldn't be much in the way of editorial consensus-building and article extension and revision over time. All that being said, delete away and we'll upload articles when we have enough content to justify their inclusion in the archive. Sorry and thnx! Justalewis ( talk) 18:29, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
- While the intention is that articles will improve over time, any article, at any time, must meet the minimum criteria for inclusion. An article titled Ackerman Residence Hall whose sole content is "This article is about the Ackerman Residence Hall does not meet those minimum criteria. If you are to lead a class in the use of Wikipedia, you must first familiarize yourself with its proper use. WikiDan61 ChatMe! ReadMe!! 18:29, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
The article Black Rock Mountain Bike Area has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Notability of this local bike trail not established.
While all constructive 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. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

Hello, Justalewis! Welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are a course instructor leading a class project or assignment. If you're new to Wikipedia or want to learn about best practices for Wikipedia assignments and class projects, we highly recommend that you go through the our training page for instructors.
The training includes instructions for setting up a structured course page and with tools for tracking student work and encouraging peer review. I also highly recommend that you review the

- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
- Be bold, but do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
- Provide reliable sources to the content you add. If you are adding biomedical information, please follow this guideline.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
