- To the Wikipedia administration from a little unprofit and unofficial Serbian science fiction community (SF TEAM).
- Dear administrator,
for several times, our community tried to show up on Wikipedia. Every time our page was deleted. We completely understand the regulations on showing up on W, and we think that you could make an exception, for the following reasons.
Our community, put together from sci fi fans, enthusiasts and amateur writers and painters for over two years exist with only one cause.. To populate and affirm the science fiction genre in Serbia, and in all the others ex Yugoslav republics. In this cause, we made some very good projects.
First, we run a never ending sci fi quiz on one of the largest Serbian boards, with a few thousand answers and questions. We think, this quiz is very informative and educating, since we have on hundreds of participants. Then, we put together our portal and board. Our movie and book revives, posted by our members, have several hundred hits every day, Amateur writers and painters post their work on our board, and run very nice and educating discussions.
Nobody of our members get any material satisfaction for this. We function strictly on amateur and volunteer’s bases.
And at last, our pride, our fanzine called SF Team Vector. We have published (in e- form, not printed) nine issues (every two month one) For our 10. Issue, we planning to find a sponsor, to get it out on paper and giving it for free in hi schools and universities.
As I said before, our members (SF TEAM) have no material satisfaction for there hard work, promoting science fiction in our little country. And we know that we doing a good job.
So, I am asking you to give us a little space on your great encyclopedia, in “Science fiction in Serbia” That would four our members be the biggest satisfaction. In case of granting our space, we serious promise you that no promoting or anything similar will took place, just a little history of us with our projects.
Please, consider our request. Thank you
Sincerely, SF TEAM. MasterYodaSR (talk) 16:37, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
- Firstly, I'm not an administrator. I didn't actually delete the article, I just nominated it. Click here to talk to the admin who deleted it the second time. Secondly, Wikipedia is not a web host, it is an encyclopedia, and until your organization has been the subject of non-trivial reporting in reliable sources, it will not be an appropriate topic for an article. The policy on sourcing is here and the general notability guideline is here, and how to get a article undeleted is here. I am a huge SF fan myself (John Brunner is one of my personal favorites) and I'm sure your board and quiz is interesting, it's just not an encyclopedic topic.
