Contested deletion

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because, while researching the article Harewood House I discovered that, not only is the name Chippendale absent from that specific article, where Chippendale had an enormous influence, but the Thomas Chippendale article is itself woefully inadequate to describe the man and his work. So I did some remedial editing to the Thomas Chippendale article and then sought some authoritive sources with which to expand both Harewood House and Chippendale Articles, and then I discovered that The Chippendale Society - a very august authority on the subject of Chippendale, does not even feature on Wikipedia.

Let me here provide good reason, (assert importance), why The Chippendale Society should be entered in the encyclopedia without much argument. Firstly I am acting entirely independently of that entity; secondly my sole purpose is to promote an historical figure and, thirdly, I believe that by creating the page The Chippendale Society, on the basis of one simple assertion, I hope to stimulate others in the promotion of the Chippendale phenomenon.

Those of my Wiki compatriates who would rather see this one-sentence article deleted might consider how poorly the name, the phenomenon of Chippendale is represented on Wikipedia - and then consider how many people might act constructively when they are given a focus in the matter.

I only need a few days to make it an article, but the sandbox option is averse to my/our purpose - let others seek out The Chippendale Society and the article will generate itself. Mark^Dask 22:32, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There's a couple of problems with this theory. First, it's not up to others to hunt up sources and establish notability; it's up to you as the page creator to do it. Second, with more than 5.2 million articles on this wiki, the chances of anyone running across your article and deciding to improve it are not that high. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 23:08, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The title "The Chippendale Society" is hardly a random article among 5.2 million articles when the name Chippendale is unique - and I aint expecting others to write the article, nor to establish notability in the matter; I'm only asking that detractors of the first semblence of an idea back off for a few days.Mark^Dask 23:24, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
