[edit] Help desk question

Regarding your HD question, I thought you might need some links to Wikipedia's key tenets that will allow you to determine whether a subject can be included or not. Firstly and most essentially, it must pass the test of notability. It must be the subject of multiple independent reliable sources, which must be used to cite every fact in the article. You need to be able to write the article without bias or conflict of interest as well. It is a good idea to take time over an article - particularly if it is your first effort - and I strongly recommend that you develop it off-line (use Notepad or equivalent) before uploading it. Too many new editors ignore these key standards requirements and find themselves having to read Why was my article deleted? I don't want to put you off - quite the opposite; I want to encourage you - but forewarned is forearmed, as the saying goes. When you come to upload your article, Starting a new page will make that step really easy. Now Be bold! Regards, Adrian M. H. 21:17, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

I forgot to include information that you had requested about the use of external links. This is covered in WP:EL and WP:SPAM relates to it as well. WP:EL is part of the Manual of Style, which is very useful. Regards, Adrian M. H. 21:49, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

First of all, if the article is made, because of its controversial nature, it will probably be vandalized.

Secondly, since the site is not famous, (kind of like how Stadium High School is not famous but there's an article about that), there're no independent sources to base the facts on, though in the notability section, it said that if you can find another way to verify the facts, then that problem can be resolved, & I can just ask the people who run the site to verify it.

I'm also aware of the conflict of interests, & I'm a contributor to that website, but I can assure you that I & others who work on the site are capable of making an objective article. If you don't believe me, you can just look at the article to make sure we don't turn it into a promo.

Probably the best thing to do, though, is to just go to the site & tell me if an article on it is acceptable. Thanks.
