- Significant coverage. The sources must discuss your subject in depth, in multiple paragraphs. A mention in one or two sentences or the appearance of your subject in a table or list is not enough to help establish notability.

Why do I contribute to wikipedia? I contribute to wikipedia because it's one of the places on the internet without advertisements that anyone can create & edit articles. Wikipedia has guidelines and restrictions in place that are necessary so that anyone can create & edit articles.
As long as Wiki exists, part of its raison d'etre is to encourage people to play a part in it. This also means stressing the areas which are not adequately covered, in the hope of encouraging somebody to play a part. If all Wiki's weak areas were reduced to articles with no links to even stubs, then there is no incentive for knowledgable people to contribute - strangers may not even realise they have the opportunity to contribute.
Why don't I contribute to wikipedia more than I do?
"The few times I’ve touched wikipedia, I’ve been struck by how isolating it can feel. It’s a very fend for yourself kind of place for me. Anywhere else online, my first impulse is to put out feelers. I make friends, ask for links to FAQs and guides, and inevitably someone takes me under their wing and shows me the ropes of whatever niche culture I’m obsessed with that month. It’s very collaborative, and prioritizes friendships and enjoyment of pre-existing work over results. Wikipedia isn’t like that, as far as I’ve experienced. There’s no reciprocal culture; to just plunge oneself into the thick of things and start adding information can be highly intimidating, and there’s no structure set up to find like-minded people to assist one’s first attempts. Instead I just find lots and lots of links to lots of information-dense pages."[1]
citation needed[citation needed]
People who use WP expect when they look for an article, to find something. [1]
Notability. All articles must be about subjects that are important enough. We call this notability. If the subject is not notable, its article may get deleted by an administrator – and sometimes rather quickly! For example, we have a lot of articles about bands. The Beatles were a very famous and important band because their songs left their mark on society forever, but the band that practices in your neighbor's garage is not likely to be ready for a Wikipedia article for a long time, even if they played at the school prom.[2]

User:Dream_Focus We need an option to inform us if someone is trying to delete an article we like(in its entirety or just a significant percentage of it) without having to get constant notifications every time one thing or another is edited in it. Not something decided in this particular election, but just wanted to get that out there. Suggestion: Add the not-yet-created AfD page of the article you like to your watchlist. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:48, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Depth of Coverage: The sources should cover hopscotch in a substantial way, not just in passing. This means the sources provide detailed information, such as its history, variations, cultural significance, rules, and impact.
Sustained Coverage: The coverage should not be fleeting or trivial. It should demonstrate that hopscotch is of lasting interest and importance, not just a temporary fad.

lifecycle of "Down-ball" wikipedia page:
- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Down-ball
- User_talk:Rockycape#Proposed_deletion_of_Down-ball - If a Wikipedia article is tagged with "PROD," it means it has been proposed for deletion. "PROD" stands for "Proposed Deletion." This tagging is used by editors to suggest that an article may not meet Wikipedia's inclusion criteria and may be deleted. The article usually stays in the mainspace for a short period, typically seven days, during which other editors can discuss and decide whether to keep or delete the article. If no consensus is reached or no improvement is made, the article may be deleted.
