AfD nomination of Pagan House

An article that you have been involved in editing, Pagan House, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pagan House. Thank you.

I nominated the article for deletion because it's really important for information on Wikipedia to be verifiable; otherwise, people could post all sorts of false information and we wouldn't be able to separate the good from the bad. There's also a Wikipedia guideline on what sorts of organizations should have Wikipedia articles, and the article didn't provide any evidence that Pagan House falls under that guideline. I put this up for discussion to see if anyone else could find appropriate sources for the article, but it doesn't look like anyone did. The final decision to delete the article was made by an administrator based on what was said in the discussion. So I definitely encourage you to read through the deletion discussion to see what concerns were brought up, and if you have sources or information available that might address those concerns, I'd be happy to help. - AdelaMae ^{(t - c - wpn)} 08:12, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

I also saw that you've recreated the page at Pagan House a couple of times, but I'd definitely recommend that you work on it for a while (maybe on a user subpage like User:Musashi39/Pagan House), address the points that were brought up in the deletion discussion, get some feedback from other editors, and then post the new and improved article, with an explanation on the talk page of what has been changed in the article to address the concerns that caused it to be deleted. The main things you're going to have to deal with are the concerns about the page being advertising and about the source citations. I saw that you added some links, but it isn't very obvious what some of them have to do with Pagan House or how they back up the information in the article. What you really need is some solid information (more than just "there is this group called Pagan House in Omaha") from a secondary source, not affiliated with Pagan House. A perfect example of this would be if there had been a full-length article about the group in the Omaha World-Herald (so if you know of one, please cite it - it'd be a huge help!). If you can demonstrate that Pagan House meets the notability guidelines for organizations, you should definitely spell that out. If there's nothing to show that the group meets those guidelines, it's not very likely that the page will be kept on Wikipedia. - AdelaMae ^{(t - c - wpn)} 08:35, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
