[edit] Spirit of Librarianship Award

Internal award within a University Faculty Clappingsimon talk 04:06, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm fairly new to editing Wikipedia. Can you show me exactly where "Internal award within a University faculty" is listed as a reason that an article can be deleted? I scanned the deletion page but didn't see the reason you gave. I don't doubt you but just want to see where I'd find this information in the future. --Headtale 05:16, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. An internal award within a university faculty most likely "is not suitable for Wikipedia" because Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Furthermore, if the creator of this article is associated with the faculty which gives this award (as a student, professor or alumnus/alumna), the article might be a vanity page as well. --Metropolitan90 05:42, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per nom. not encyclopedically notable. Plenty of space on the university web servers for this Bwithh 06:03, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:NN. -- Gogo Dodo 06:11, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

• I ♥ librarians, but this article just isn't encyclopedic in the scope of its relevance. Delete. Jacqui^★ 14:04, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

• I understand the reasons people want to delete this article to a point but am curious how Wikipedia can claim to be the "sum of all knowledge" when everyone wants to delete an article about something that has legitimate purpose (or at least, as legitimate as stub articles about small villages in England that have less inhabitants than this award has had nominees over its existence or one line articles about reality TV show contestants. Something's out of whack here to me - am I off-base completely? --Headtale 07:57, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
