This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because I am trying to add sources but I cannot figure out how. &mdash; Dilaneanner (talk) 19:17, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
 * The first place to look for sources would be here, especially the News, Books, and Scholar topics. Remember, what you find has to meet our criteria for reliability and independence. As for posting what you find, I get the feeling you already know how. Don't worry about an unprofessional way of posting them, someone will fix that in a timely fashion. --  Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 02:37, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Blanchardb, lack of sources isn't the same thing as lack of importance. James500 (talk) 06:42, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Availability of third-party sources is the biggest single indicator of importance, and indeed notability. I was tempted to decline the speedy on this myself, but imagine how frustrating it would be for someone to find a way to assert importance only to have the article deleted at AfD on notability grounds. That's why I'm spelling it out right away. --  Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 07:08, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
