User talk:Hortaculture

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi! I was reading User talk:Rudget and I noticed you were trying to create an article. I thought I would try to help you out. I did some web searches to see if I could find any reliable sources which would help make your article look respectable and get past the new-page patrollers. Here are some things I found, though I'm not sure whether they count as reliable sources or not:

• [1]
• [2] (identical to the above article??)
• [3] (only mentions him very briefly)
• [4] (this may be the best -- has Kane winning)
• [5]
• [6] (Says that Kane is in the Guinness book of world records. Maybe you could look him up there and use that as a source. I think not everyone in the book of records necessarily gets a Wikipedia article, but surely it helps.

If you decide to use any of those, optionally you might want to use {{cite news}} (or {{cite web}} etc.) to help format them nicely. See for example Template:cite news. Using those templates is not required. I can help you with them if you like, and it's not necessary to fill in all the fields. If you have paper books, newspaper articles etc. that talk about him of course you can list them too.

Try to write a first sentence that says what's notable about him, e.g. mentioning that he's in the Guiness book of world records and/or some big tournament he's won or something.

Good luck with your article. Feel free to post a message on my talk page if you have any questions about how to edit Wikipedia.

If they don't think he's notable enough for an article of his own, you could maybe create a section about him within another relevant article. If the section eventually grows long enough, it could later be split off into a separate article. --Coppertwig (talk) 21:27, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
