To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your userpage.
Please remember to:
- Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the
button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp. - Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
- Thank you for the warm welcome @Paine Ellsworth, and I'll be sure to remember my tildes. 😊

The article AccessArt has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
The Guardian article cited is written by Briggs and seems to be more about her opinions on art than the organisation itself. All the other coverage I've been able to find such as this 2002 article also from the Guardian barely goes beyond mentioning the name. Unfortunately seems unlikely there will be enough coverage to meet WP:NORG
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.

- Hi @Alpha3031,
- Thank you for your message. I agree that newspaper coverage of AccessArt is insufficient, which is a shame.
- However, I interpreted WP:NONPROFIT to have been met because:
- The charity's scope is genuinely national with tens of thousands of schools paying for membership, representing the majority of schools in the UK.
- The schools individually refer to the charity's authority, for example by referring to the charity's guidance, informing their teaching of Art and the shaping of their curriculums. So there are thousands of independent reliable organisations referring to the charity as an authority.
- The schools also each provide 'coverage' of the educational materials provided by the charity.
- The charity therefore affects tens of millions of UK students annually, which clearly constitutes "significant or demonstrable effects on culture, society and education" as required by WP:NORG.
- 'Notability' isn't just what's in the press.

- Is there any coverage that is from organisations both independent of AccessArt and has a reputable fact checking process? We do still need some sort of coverage in order to be able to have an article compliant with the core content policies which is why you still need to meet point 2 (see also WP:WHYN).

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/AccessArt until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.
