[edit] How to assert Notability
I'll be posting more relevant information on this. Am new at wikipedia. How do I talk to the editor re: notability?
- What article are you talking about? Maybe I can help! =) Berserkerz Crit 11:55, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Ok so first things first. The most important policy here in Wikipedia to evade deletion is WP:ATT (also look at sub article WP:Note) which the gist is the article must contain information that can be attributed to a source, preferably a credible and third-party source (newspaper or news is the best of course). Now for the meantime, you can look the way I fixed Nityalila. You have sources but you improperly labeled them as External links, they should be titled References. When you write a paragraph or statement, write <ref>[link linktitle]</ref> after the punctuation and for the ==References== section, write <references/> or {{reflist}}. That's it for now so you can remedy the article quickly.Berserkerz Crit 12:09, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- Also, don't put too many adjectives describing what Jordan does in the lead or the first sentences/paragraph. Write the most important thing he does and which he is famous for and deserving of an article. Usually, it goes like Sponge Cola is a Filipino rock band blah blah blah.

Hi Berserker Crit, thanks for the advice, just wanted to put some info first. I'm going to change the external links to references then? Btw, Jourdan invented the Dreamer's Manifesto, which a lot of artistes and companies have adopted. I think that's fairly notable in and by itself. How do I put in the entry? A separate section?

- Well, I've reverted the inclusion of the Dreamer's Manifesto. WP doesn't allow word per word or verbatim copy of something, that would be a copyvio. (See WP:NOT and WP:C) What you should do is to write the importance of the Dreamer's Manifesto which you've said a lot of artists and companies have adopted, and then reference it. Also, it's not enough to change External Links to References, when I say improperly labeled, sites such as manila bulletin or any reputable third-party sources that assert an article's notability fall under References while blogspot or multiply or myspace sites or an official first-party site fall under External Links. (See WP:CITE) I'll try to help you in the referencing part but you still have to put there what makes Jourdan Sebastian famous and deserving of a WP article.

thanks for this - I'll try to organize the references and external links. the shadowbot did a revert already before I read this note :)Pageman 20:11, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
