Castilic architecture article
[edit]Hello, thanks for writing this article! I’ve just read it and I’m a bit concerned that it has no citations. That worries me since without proof that this topic is notable, meaning covered enough in architecture textbooks and articles for it to be possible to write a fair article on the topic, the article may get deleted. It might be a particular problem if the article contains own research or own synthesis - Wikipedia doesn't allow this so any such content would have to be removed.
Are there any reliable sources on the topic that you can add? If so just edit the article and add citations using the cite tool, or if you have any thoughts or questions just let me know. Blythwood (talk) 21:26, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
The article Castilic has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- I can't see any evidence that this term has ever been used in writing about architecture. Seems to fail WP:ESSAY and WP:OPINION.
While all constructive 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}}
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 {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Blythwood (talk) 21:46, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Castilic. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Castle. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Castle – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Pichpich (talk) 21:51, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
Castilic
[edit]Hello. I notice you have created an article on this term, but you haven't provided evidence that this term is used by anyone besides you and your friends. Could you add third-party citations to authors besides you? If this is not possible, we do have an article on battlements as a decorative element, which could certainly stand to be expanded using some of this content.
Hope that's useful, let me know if you have any thoughts. Blythwood (talk) 13:05, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
Deletion proposal
[edit]The article Castilic has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Nice effort but this isn't actually a real term in architecture - according to the comments in the article and talk page, it's made up by the author and maybe some fellow students in his high school class. This content could be placed in the battlements as decorative element section, but it fails WP:MADEUP.
