User talk:Cockerpants

Welcome!

Hello, Cockerpants, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Giggleberries, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard. Thank you.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Question

{{helpme}} hi, I am very new to this and wondered if you can be very specific about how I can prevent this article from being deleted. What sort of things can I do to make it more notable? javascript:insertTags('Cockerpants (talk) 17:04, 15 April 2010 (UTC)',,)[reply]

Well, there's not really much you can do, the article's subject just has to be more famous and therefore more notable. Chevymontecarlo. 17:13, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest, it looks to be a dictionary definition of a neologism, lacking significant coverage in reliable sources - as you said yourself, "use of the word is not widely referenced" - thus, it probably is not appropriate for Wikipedia.

You are quite welcome to participate in the discussions in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Giggleberries but, frankly, I think it won't meet the requirements for an article. Sorry about that.

For more help, you can either;

Leave a message on my own talk page; OR
Use a {{helpme}} - please create a new section at the end of your own talk page, put {{helpme}}, and ask your question - remember to 'sign' your name by putting ~~~~ at the end; OR
Talk to us live, with this or this.

The last of those is particularly useful - please try it; pop in now and say hello. Chzz ► 17:40, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
