Ragnaville

FYI, the notability guidelines for websites are at WP:WEB. So if you meet these, definitely make sure the article emphasizes that, or the article will probably show up soon at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. I'm changing the tone for you--encyclopedia articles shouldn't talk about things in the first person point of view. NickelShoe 18:02, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks NickelShoe for the guidelines and the tone-change on the article. I have a question about the notability guidelines.. I believe my article meets the requirements, how do I go about displaying that on my page? Do I just write it in or is there a seal or code? Thanks. -- Fergatron 16:29, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Just edit the article itself. So for instance to show the thing meets "The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself" just say, "The New York Times covered this phenomenon in 2004, saying..." You know. Stuff like that. And if you're not quite sure about how to work something into the article, that's a good time to make use of the talk page. Just post that you know the website meets the guidelines for such and such reasons but you're not sure how to incorporate it into the article. NickelShoe 16:08, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ragnaville

The article is undergoing discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ragnaville regarding its possible deletion. Please contribute to the discussion and continue to improve the article to meet WP:WEB. NickelShoe 14:26, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi. Regarding your recent post at the discussion, the answer is Yes, you have to wait. We can't know for sure what things are going to turn out to be notable, so even if they are probably going to be later, we wait until they actually are. Since you don't own the articles you start, there's no real obligation to make sure you know about their deletion, but I did actually tell you, as you can see here.

It's also best if someone else starts the article about it, since they're less likely to be biased. Please check out WP:AUTO. Thanks. NickelShoe (Talk) 14:25, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Broken Doughnut Studios

This has been deleted as failing to establish the importance of the group of poeple described. You can appeal this at WP:DRV if you have conrete evidence of the importance or wider significance of the company, specifically: significant coverage in national news media, listing on a public stock exchange, significant customer base or numbers employed. There is a set of guidelines at WP:CORP which should help. Just zis Guy you know? 22:30, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Funny

Hi A More Perfect Onion, that was a very funny response while removing my content. I don't think I understand why the section on social media couldn't stay? Personally; I saw some inconsistencies on Twitter so I thought I'd input the correct hash mark that's being used. FergatROn (talk)

Wikipedia is not a guide or how-to. It is not the place of this encyclopedia to discuss how to use social media, let alone a specific social medium. --A More Perfect Onion (talk) 15:56, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
