Thanks for your question relating to your article on SkipperGuide. The relevant information pertaining to the notability of websites can be found at Wikipedia:Notability (web). I have reproduced the criteria websites must meet to be considered for inclusion in Wikipedia below;
Criteria Web-specific content is notable if it meets any one of the following criteria:
- The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself.
- This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper and magazine articles, books, television documentaries, and published reports by consumer watchdog organizations. except for the following:
- Media re-prints of press releases and advertising for the content or site.
- Trivial coverage, such as newspaper articles that simply report the internet address, the times at which such content is updated or made available, a brief summary of the nature of the content or the publication of internet addresses and site or content descriptions in internet directories or online stores.
- The website or content has won a notable independent award from either a publication or organization.
- The content is distributed via a medium which is both well known and independent of the creators, either through an online newspaper or magazine, an online publisher, or an online broadcaster.
The article itself must provide proof that its subject meets one of these criteria via inlined links or a "Reference" or "External link" section. Even if an entire website meets the notability criteria, its components (forums, articles, sections) are not necessarily notable and deserving of their own separate article. -- Longhair\talk 20:39, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
