I hope you are not one of the same users, are you? If you are, then verification is best recommended. --George Ho (talk) 05:24, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome

Hello, Moconnor1414, and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are a course instructor leading a class project.

Go through our online training for educators.

The training includes instructions for setting up a structured course page, with tools for tracking student work and encouraging peer review. Please also see this helpful advice for instructors.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay after your assignment is finished! George Ho (talk) 05:32, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Moved to userspace

I've moved a copy to your userspace at User:Moconnor1414/The_Church_and_the_Internet. I highly recommend that you use this for the classroom editing as it'll help keep fears of deletion at bay, for the reasons I stated on the talk page. The long and short is that even if an article is for classroom purposes, if the topic doesn't pass our strict notability guidelines then it will be deleted. Sometimes people give an article a pass until the end of class, but I don't entirely like doing that because it sort of makes me feel that all of your time and effort was wasted. I also highly, HIGHLY recommend that you converse with some of the people on the WikiProject that focuses on schools and colleges editing Wikipedia for class assignments.

Please create in your userspace!

I would like to request that you please create any articles for your class in your userspace. You can create them by typing in User:Moconnor1414/Subject of the article. The reason is that even though you are doing this for school, the subjects might not necessarily pass notability guidelines. You have to show that these documents have been discussed by someone other than WP:PRIMARY sources such as the Church itself or anyone directly associated with it. Linking to the Pontifical Commission doesn't show notability for the documents and these documents don't gain automatic notability by being associated with them.

The problem with creating in the mainspace is that someone can nominate them for deletion and the articles could end up getting deleted before your class has a chance to even work on them. I really, really, really implore you to go through our WikiProject that works with people creating articles on Wikipedia along with their classes. Just because you're teaching a class doesn't exempt you or the articles from passing notability guidelines.

I'm moving the articles to your userspace so it'll hopefully avoid deletion, but please create any further articles in your userspace. I had someone comment on my talk page that you had created these and that they didn't show notability and I can't guarantee that these wouldn't be deleted if they were left in the mainspace. We can't wait until the end of the class term to establish notability. It has to be established in the here and now. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 10:16, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Tokyogirl79, George Ho: OK, will be moving the rest of the pages here shortly. Please be patient. Moconnor1414 (talk) 15:58, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It has been more than a year since any of these were touched. I propose to delete all of them on my next review of my watchlist. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 14:10, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If you could hold off on that a bit: at least one legitimate article got caught up in this and vanished from mainspace. I'd like to sort that out before it gets deleted from userspace. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 13:29, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am teaching the seminar that focuses on these documents in the Fall of 2015 and will return to these pages then--building on what I have learnt from the experience documented above. If that's too long a wait, I understand.Moconnor1414 (talk) 17:10, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing happened in Fall 2015 so I am going ahead to delete all. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 13:35, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
