Talk:Deletion request

Name and content
The name of this article is clearly incorrect, but the content of the article although interesting is not in harmony with the purpose of the wiki.

The Research Wiki aims to be a resource to help people researching places and records with which they are unfamiliar. This article seems to be the history of an individual or family and would be better suited to be added to one of more of the following:. --Steve 18:22, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Creating a page is not the correct title for this item. It does have portions of historical record and information of the formation of the Dutch company territory in the 1600s - but that would require the article to have a major rewrite. There are portions, as noted above, which are personal history data for two generations that is not the purpose of wiki - again, as noted above by Steve. How does this get sent back to author with an invitation to rewrite and rename information? This time period of Americana history needs all the references necessary - just not in this "Creating a page" format. Caroline Wolfgramm Irwin - on wiki maintenance duty: 26Oct2011 - 10:54p.m.
