AfD nomination of Feastarian
I have nominated Feastarian, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/Feastarian. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Amalthea 12:33, 23 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi Foxsculptor In answer to you comment at Talk:Feastarian, Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia first. What little credibility and reliability we have is because there is a strict policy of verifiability and a strict inclusion guideline about which material is allowed here. Feastarian was deleted following the discussion at Articles for deletion/Feastarian, and was found to be lacking in those respects in particular. If you find the topic notable enough for encyclopaedic inclusion, you need to prove notability, by showing that there are multiple and independant reliable sources (sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy, like most newspapers) that cover the topic in detail. The details and benefits of the topic do not factor in here. You say it's a new term, and that you "intend [it] to become a generic term". Wikipedia is not the place for topics to gain notability, it is for topics that already are notable per the above guideline. I hope you understand. Amalthea  13:15, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Yes I can understand your point, but everything has to start some where, just as Wikipedia did. Feastarian is a term for making a positive difference, just as Wikipedia does. Please support its inclusion while it is becoming established. Foxsculptor (talk) 14:21, 20 March 2009 (UTC)


 * No, sorry. As I said, Wikipedia is not the place to start anything, no matter if the topic is useful or useless, good or bad. -- Amalthea 15:19, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
