Parkview Library

It was not a serious Wikipedia page. Have you quoted reliable sources supporting notability of the library? And I did not delete the page, I proposed to delete it. The page was deleted twice, by different editors. Please check several pages describing libraries. Category:Libraries in South Africa Xx236 (talk) 09:00, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Randburg Library

The article Randburg Library has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not a notable library. Recent news coverage indicating that the library has been the recipient of a donation to install solar power does not constitute significant coverage, and much of the content is either promotional, or is taken from the Johannesburg Libraries websites describing libraries in general, and not this library in particular.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.

You updated the {{Old prod}} template with the contest reason: This is part of a WikiProject Libraries campaign to work with libraries and increase the number of notable South African Libraries. I will note that adding a page about the library to Wikipedia does not make the library notable (and therefore does not increase the number of notable SA libraries). The library needs to be notable in order to add it to Wikipedia. I am still not convinced that this library is notable. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 16:53, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

I'm still working to improve this page. The history of this particular library constitute notability. Kindly let's park it in a draft space if you feel it's does not meet notability criterion. Also, we (Wikimedia ZA) are working with librarians to identify notable libraries from this list of South African Libraries. Would be great to work with someone like you on this project.
