Million Dollar Baby Society

The society is led by individuals scattered throughout the world ranging from Denmark, France, Los Angeles, New York, Japan, Denver, and etc. With quotes like "Wealth is of the heart & mind, not the pocket" they are driven and determined for stardom, because their belief is they all were put here with purposes.. And a few of them are destined to be Millionaires in which they feel they are the chosen few. For most of them, its not going to be fed to them on a silver spoon, so its up to them to go out and get it. A brand that stands behind their movement is Billionaire boys Club|Ice Cream. They have taken their brand to another level in the South Florida area & continue to do so. The society also plans to begin a clothing line of their own. Their myspace page displays a taste of this: ..Myspace. com/MillionDollarBabySociety.. They've been in 2 magazines in the states and about 5 articles in China's Hip Hop fashion mags. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mdbsociety (talk • contribs) 01:58, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and Welcome to Wikipedia! This particular article would be governed by the notability guidelines on companies. The rule of thumb here is noting whether the company has received significant or widespread coverage in secondary sources that are reliable and independent of the company (excluding company PR releases and information solely available on the company website—these sources may be used for additional information after notability has been established by secondary sources). All material must be attributable.

7 total articles may be sufficient, depending on the depth of coverage and the significance of publication. College papers, for instance, don't carry the weight that The New York Times does. :)

If you are able to assemble necessary sources to assert notability, you may certainly create such an article, although if you are closely associated with the subject, as your name suggests, our conflict of interest guideline strongly recommends that you do not create or edit the article yourself, but instead consider proposing its creation at requested articles or at a related article or relevant WikiProject. If you do choose to write the article in such a case, you'll want to be particularly careful to approach it neutrally and without undue promotion.

Before establishing the article, please search Wikipedia to make sure that an article does not already exist on the subject. Help:Starting a new page should give you all the guidance you need, but you might also look at Wikipedia:Your first article and Wikipedia:How to write a great article. Please consider taking a tour through the Wikipedia:Tutorial so that you know how to properly format the article before creation. Good luck, and happy editing. :) Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 11:30, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, and Welcome to Wikipedia! :) In order to create an article about that person, you'll need to be able to assert notability per Wikipedia's notability guidelines on biographies, which will mean utilizing reliable secondary sources, like newspaper articles. If she was a household name, as you indicate, it shouldn't be too hard for you to locate those. An article of this sort would be covered by Wikipedia's guidelines on "biographies of living persons", which in part urges editors to be extremely careful not to include any information that isn't sourced, even if it's true, and also reminds us that biographies particularly must be written from a neutral point of view.

If you are able to assemble necessary sources and if your subject meets the notability requirements, you may choose to create the article yourself, although if you are closely associated with the subject, our conflict of interest guideline urges great caution, particularly with neutrality and not adding information you know to be true but cannot verify. It is strongly recommended that you do not edit an article on a subject with which you have a conflict of interest but instead consider proposing its creation at requested articles or at a related article or relevant WikiProject.

If you choose to create it yourself, please search Wikipedia first to make sure that an article does not already exist on the subject. Help:Starting a new page should give you all the guidance you need, but you might also look at Wikipedia:Your first article and Wikipedia:How to write a great article. Please consider taking a tour through the Wikipedia:Tutorial so that you know how to properly format the article before creation. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 11:38, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

South Australian Curling Association

The SACA, as it is affectionately known was formed over some hastily taken drinks at the Cooper's Alehouse on Fienemann's last day of Uni-term on 15th August 2008. Upon unanimously deciding autonomous powers of presidency to Nick Fienemann, the following team was decided:

Nick Fienemann (President, captain and General)

Adam Tunney (Floor sweeper)

Josh Boden (Drinks Fetcher)

Damien Lynch (Curlographer)

Peter Kennedy (Backup)

This team has by virtue of NO COMPETITION qualified, and thusly successfully won and defended its STATE CHAMPIONSHIP in 2008, and is headed for nationals.

One can donate to the cause by attending Mal's Party (3/9/08), or festivus to be held in Fienemann's pool at a date to be decided soon. Donations of $50, or less, will be gleefully and whistfully laughed at, initially denied and regretfully accepted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stappy (talk • contribs) 12:04, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia. :) While it sounds like a lot of fun, it's not likely to meet our notability guidelines at this point. It would need to have been widely written about already in reliable sources like magazines and newspapers for us to include it here. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 11:41, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, I don't think Wikipedia is the right place for this info. Content can't be included in Wikipedia unless it's been covered extensively in other published sources already. This is how we ensure accuracy and verifiability. Please see WP:WEB. Peace, delldot talk 03:34, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Welcome and thanks for your note! When writing an article on the encyclopedia one needs to be sure to establish the subject's notability in the article by verifying the information with citations to reliable sources, preferably by using footnotes. Articles that don't establish their subject's notability may be deleted.. I note that your user name is the same as the subject you want to write about; if you are the same person you should know that autobiographies are strongly discouraged on Wikipedia. If you are notable enough, someone else will eventually write the article for you. Thanks again for writing and feel free to ask any more questions that may be on your mind. —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 01:12, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with everything Elipongo said above me, and if you don't have any sources to provide people to help write this article, you may want to look into Wikipedia:Requested articles for information on how to place a request for an article on the correct category. -Optigan13 (talk) 07:13, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
