Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Wizard-Subject
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wikipedia has 1,719,609 articles covering almost every subject imaginable. However, not everything is suitable for this encyclopedia. The Wikipedia community has established a series of guidelines of what is and what is not suitable for Wikipedia.
Some article ideas that are discouraged
- Yourself, your organization, or the company you work for.
- A band of which you are a member.
- Something 'cool' you invented.
- A new slang word.
- Another article on an existing topic (you can edit the existing article or suggest a redirect though).
- Your dormitory (unless it's on the Historic Register).
- Your club, society, fraternity, sorority or any other school/college group (unless it's famous).
- Essays or term papers that you wrote for class.
- Extremely specific details which only a dedicated few care about.
- Subjects that cannot be studied, or the knowledge of which amounts only to the fact that it pertains to another topic.
- Any article written while in a highly emotional state or reflecting personal opinions (Wikipedia is not a blog).
- A biased, unethical, or 'sided' article that reflects the feelings of you or your organization.
- A new article to supplement an already existing one which you think is not putting your point across forcefully enough.
