Jedi of the Old Code (JOC)
I'm sorry to inform you that an article which you created, Jedi of the Old Code (JOC), was recently deleted. When reviewing whether an article is appropriate for Wikipedia, administrators follow certain guidelines based upon things such as encyclopedic notability, the ability to verify accurate information, and conflicts of interest. Your article didn't match one or more of these criteria, and as such, it was erased.

Please don't let this discourage you from taking part in Wikipedia — nearly every editor here has had contributions removed at one time or another. If you're new and would like some help on getting used to the encyclopedia, there's some useful resources at Introduction and New contributors' help page.

Thanks for your understanding.  Tijuana Brass  03:25, 1 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Please stop creating this article. If you'd like help on how to meet the guidelines mentioned above, see Your first article. Continuing to do so will be considered vandalism and may result in a block.  Tijuana Brass  03:45, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Deletion explanation
Thanks for your respectful email. I'm sorry to not get back to you sooner.

To address the shorter part of what you brought up, I suspected a conflict of interest, believing you to be a member or otherwise closely related to the group. That's not necessarily a reason to exclude someone as an author, but as the policy goes, persons with a direct relation to the subject of an article are usually "strongly discouraged" from editing it. Check out the link above for more details. If I erred in assuming you were a member of this group, my apologies.

The larger question, though, is about whether this group is notable. You can find some helpful criteria on the issue at Notability (organizations and companies) (and, of course, at Notability). At the top of the former, it defines a notable organization as one that has "notable and demonstrable effects on culture, society, entertainment, athletics, economies, history, literature, science, or education" and "has been the subject of multiple non-trivial, reliable published works whose source is independent of the organization itself, and fulfills the verifiability guidelines". In other words, in order for a gaming group to be notable, it needs to have exercised some sort of significant influence that has been reported upon by accepted third party sources. Game clans rarely fulfill such conditions — hence the reason that the Clan (computer gaming) article does not link to any.

However, you're free to dispute this, if you feel that you can provide evidence to the contrary. There are two courses of action we can take from here if you want to pursue the matter: I can help you with either of these options. Just leave me a note on my talk page.

 * 1) List the article at Deletion review to receive input from other editors. Keep in mind that you'll need to make some sort of case for restoring the article.
 * 2) If you have verifiable sources to add, you may move the article's content to your userspace (in other words, as a subpage of User:Celestiagalaxtrine) to work on it until you're ready to move it back to its original location. Keep in mind that if you don't assert the group's notability and move the article back anyway, it will end up deleted again.
 * By the way, you may find Your first article a helpful article to read.  Tijuana Brass  23:44, 5 February 2007 (UTC)


 * No problem! Let me know if you need any help in the future.  Tijuana Brass  08:05, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
