Talk:Ohlone/village stub

Suggestions to writers: edit

Articles on tribes or villages might be considered not notable and deleted (by administrators) if there are UNDER 200 people unless they made a mark or if they are published historical or current affairs, such as a current application for a casino or have appeared on the news. If they did make sure to note notability on your page. Otherwis consider that it is not notable enough for its own article.
If not notable as defined above, we'd sugges to place a paragraph about the tribe or village on one of the 8 language group articles that it belongs to regional, such add you cuold add a paragraph on a village in the Charon (region) at the bottom of the Charon page. (For example: On the Charon page you would type ==Charon Villages and Tribes== at the bottom of the page, if it's not there already, then type the village paragraph.)
When saying where the village was, we'd suggest to Use landmarks that will last at least beyond your lifetime, for example, use county names, rivers, and mountains, so that the materials does not become dated too fast and is understandable no matter when its read. for example if you say the tribe had a village behind the McDonalds on J street, McDonalds may become another building or torn down in 2 years. McDonalds is not formally a geographic location.
