Aldershot Community

[edit]

Hi, I deleted the article Aldershot Community because it fails the basic notability criteria of Wikipedia. To be included in wikipedia it needs to have third party reliable sources that can be verified. You created an article on a fictional team within a small role-playing game. To be included on wikipedia it needs to have reliable sources that discuss it. I could not find these when I looked for them. I could only find the Manager League site that referenced it. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and the material on it needs to be encyclopedic. I think your efforts would be better directed at building up the Manager League article which is currently a very small stub. I am sorry if you feel your hard work was destroyed, I can restore it to your userspace if you want so that you can keep it. I hope that this has not put you off wikipedia and I will be happy to answer any questions. Welcome. Woodym555 23:21, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That is lucky, though I can access the deleted article if you want, (any admin can). You need to read the pages Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:Reliable sources about the sourcing for your article. Essentially, it needs to have a third party source that discusses it the "Aldershot Community". This could be a news agency, a book, or possibly a computer related website. Reliable sources do not include blogs/youtube/user-generated content sites such as other wikis or freewebs site. Read through the Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:Reliable sources and Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Examples. (click on the blue links to access those pages).

Hiya, I am sorry to say that if there aren't third party sources then it might not survive an WP:AFD discussion. The criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability. If you don't speak Norweigan then i would ask someone at WP:NORWAY nicely, if they could translate it for you. English sources are encouraged but foreign language sources are accepted. Just use the {{No icon}}, which produces:(in Norwegian), icon after it. Woodym555 19:09, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
