[edit] Umbridge's Clipboard

Umbridge's Clipboard (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

Page about a website, article only contains information on what's on the website, with no indication of notability in the article or the 26 total google hits. The reason it's here is because the page was recreated after an expired prod, ie. the deletion is contested. - Bobet 21:28, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

I have added a section in the article listing some other information such as Google hits and where it's linked. As for the comment Danlina made, I understand that not every HP website needs an article. I never said they did. Yes, I admit I put my article on here to increase my traffic, but if I want to promote my website, and if I do it in a neutral, non-commercial way, I don't see why I can't. Also I'm fairly new to Wikipedia and haven't achieved top article-writing skills. --Austinsimcox 19:38, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

• Austin, we were all new once, don't worry! We know you didn't say every fan site needs an article; however, 26 Google hits is very few, and your web site fails WP:WEB notability policies. Wikipedia is not meant to advertise your site, even if it is done neutrally -- the site, or whatever the subject of the article, should already be notable enough that it's not seeking visitors. Don't be disheartened -- it's difficult to maintain a fan site, so keep it up. But we can't accept an entry on your site until it is acknowledged greatly by the press, or by J. K. Rowling, or for something else notable. Hope you understand, and that you'll still decide to stick around at Wikipedia. If you want, you can have a user WP:ADOPT you to get slightly more acquainted with policies and article writing. Best, Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 23:27, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I understand now. Thanks for your support. I now understand what "notable" means and I'll allow the article to be taken down. I'll check out WP:ADOPT too. I thought I could use Wikipedia as advertising space but I see now how that would be unfair. Thank you all. :)--Austinsimcox 21:17, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
