Moving pages

[edit]

Just a friendly note: when you want to change the name of a page, please use the move function that located at the top of the screen, rather than copying and pasting the contents of the page. Using the move tool ensures that all contributors are properly credited for their work in accordance with copyright and Wikipedia's licensing terms. You might have not seen this function before, since it does not immediately appear when you create an account. However, I see that your account is nine months old and has made twelve edits, so you should now be Autoconfirmed and have access to the move tool. If you have a question please leave a message on my talk page or place {{helpme}} on this page. Regards, PleaseStand (talk) 02:17, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article Sanchez Annex Writer's Grotto has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Organization of questionable notability. Claims many notable people in its community, but a Google search on the name shows only 9 results. No independent or reliable third party sources given.

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 {{dated prod}} 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 {{dated prod}} 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.
