User talk:Bl00513

Welcome!

Hello , and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

In Wikipedia, new Users do not automatically receive a welcome; not even a machine-generated welcome. Welcome messages come from other Users. They are personal and genuine. They contain an offer of assistance if such assistance is ever desired.

I suggest to everyone I welcome that they may find some of the following helpful &mdash; there’s nothing personal in my suggestion and you may not need any of them: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place  on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! Dolphin51 (talk) 02:51, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Hopeulikit, Georgia
Hi BI00513! Congratulations on your article. That is a complex use of Wikipedia's facilities, especially for a first article.

My main comment concerns notability. If Hopeulikit, Georgia is not to be subjected to deletion action it must assert, and demonstrate, the notability of Hopeulikit. To see what notability means on Wikipedia, have a look at General notability guidelines.

The notability of Hopeulikit is not strongly demonstrated in the text at present. It would be good if the article could be enhanced to explain why Hopeulikit is not just another small roadside community in the USA. Has anything significant ever happened there (and is/was subsequently covered by citable media sources)? What is it about Hopeulikit that warrants an article on Wikipedia, where 99% of small communities don't warrant an article because they are not sufficiently notable?

To see how deletion debates work, have a look at WP:Articles for deletion/Log/2009 January 29.

Keep up the good work. Dolphin51 (talk) 04:06, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
