Hi, PLEASE before adding the speedy deletion tag which will inevitable come this way, tell me how I can improve the page. I am planning to add a history later but I feel I have made it notable with the inclusion of the content from Teletext. User:ss1wig
- Well, thanks for asking. I understand your concern. The problem won't be so much with your article, but whether or not the subject — in this case a web site that is really just a fan site for Newcastle United — is truly notable. You've provided some sources (although the formatting isn't consistent with Wikipedia style), but that may not be enough. There are all sots of fan sites for all sorts of athletic teams around the world, but very, very few are truly notable. More generalized websites which get hundreds of thousands of hits per day (Cricinfo, for instance) are much more likely to merit an article. I just checked the site out, and it's nice as fan sites go. But proving its notability by WP standards will be tough, no matter how nice your article is. But give it a try. To help you out, I'm putting an {{underconstruction}} tag at the top of the page; that will let other editors know that it's a work in progress. Make some changes, check out similar articles to see how mature articles appear, make more changes, and when you're done take my tag off. I may still get deleted, but it's worth a shot. Let me know if you need help. Realkyhick 06:15, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
- UPDATE: I took the liberty of fixing the links to conform to style, and adding a category for Newcastle United F.C. Hope this helps. Realkyhick 06:24, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
Thankyou very much for your help. I will try to put some more notable information on it. User:ss1wig
