Speedy deletion is in error, Hardly promoting or using WP as Yellowpages

[edit]

BAYSWAN is a highly visable sex-worker's rights advocacy group. Just because they help protect the rights of prostitutes and serve as an authority on sex-workers' rights doesn't mean they are any less deserving of inclusion in WP.

Have added content, context, references and links. Not sure if it's enough but happy to do more research if required. Benjiboi 00:48, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This one might help? [1] -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 06:13, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, I wasn't sure how to reference St. James Infirmary - another article to be done - and that solved that issue cleanly. Benjiboi 10:40, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion tag was wrong to begin with

[edit]

If the page can be improved, this should be solved through regular editing, rather than deletion. I think that's pretty clear. Benjiboi 10:35, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I've done most of what I'm gonna do. Good article here. However, there are waaaaaaay too many external links that are not directly related to this article. See WP:NOT#LINK: "There is nothing wrong with adding one or more useful content-relevant links to an article; however, excessive lists can dwarf articles and detract from the purpose of Wikipedia." The only ones that should be kept: BAYSWAN, Lusty Lady San Francisco, St. James Infirmary. And add one for the San Francisco Sex Workers Film and Arts Festival. Most of the other links are about sex trafficking/slavery; a See Also wikilinking to relevent articles on that would be better, & wouldn't violate WP:NOT#LINK. --Yksin 21:29, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Update. I've removed the extraneous links to the articles on Trafficking in human beings and Sexual slavery, where they are more relevant. Up until now, Sexual slavery didn't have any external links -- & seems that people looking for such resources would be more likely to look for them at that article, rather than this one. --Yksin 21:58, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for all your work! The article is so much better. I also appreciate the moving of links to where people would most likely find them with a corresponding match in the See Also section. Good job! Benjiboi 23:18, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
