== Re: UMass project ==

If you create an article called UMass Rights, I'm about 95% certain it would be deleted. That is just not the type of encyclopedic article Wikipedia is looking for. You might be better off starting the article in your own namespace, such as User:Mbrecher/UMass Rights. Also, I guess I'm still a little confused as to what you will be contributing. If you wish to expand articles with your research, then by all means go for it. But be careful if you intend to create an article just for your class's thoughts on a topic.↔NMajdan•talk•EditorReview 14:58, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I guess it won't hurt to try. Just make sure you keep a hard copy in case it does get deleted. If it was in userspace, it would not get deleted but it would also not have the visibility. Good luck.↔NMajdan•talk•EditorReview 15:19, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Judicial racialism

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Judicial racialism, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
