Never Drink Soda.

DDAD

Hi Quit Drinking Soda,

Regarding your question, I should point out that in tagging DDAD for deletion I did not make any claims about the acronym's notability; rather, I made a claim that your article does not establish its notability, which makes it subject to speedy deletion. While it is true that you will find many other acronyms on Wikipedia, they are there either because their usage is widespread or because they have established themselves in culture somehow--DNR is an example of the former, while FUBAR is an example of the latter.

If you want to establish notability for DDAD, you need to make sure to cite verifiable sources, as Wikipedia is not a place for original research. Looking over the guide to creating articles couldn't hurt, either. I've included a standard welcome template below this message which will provide you with links to some reading material that will hopefully help you understand Wikipedia policies and guidelines a little better. If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a message on my talk page. Thanks! --jonny-mt(t)(c) 08:51, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
