Re: Maquis Forces International Page
Hi, thanks for writing. If memory serves, this page was deleted as it suggested only vanity and did not assert the notability of its subject. Please also feel free to read what Wikipedia is not. Happy editing!  Radio Kirk   talk to me  02:37, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Not a problem, you just happened to catch me online. By all means, if the article's recreation asserts the notability of the group, be our guest. You'll notice, meantime, that the criteria for speedy deletion (in this case, Articles item #7, called CSD A7 for short) specifically states that an article must assert notability&mdash;it could be about, say, George W. Bush but, if the article doesn't tell the reader why he's notable, it can be deleted at any time. :)  Radio Kirk   talk to me  03:08, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Gary and Rob, are there any outside mentions of MFI doing charitable work or contributing to fan activities in print by other fan/convention groups/newspapers that could be used to establish outside notability? Have other clubs mentioned MFI (such as Starfleet) in their pubs?  How 'bout mags such as Communicator and such (sold in mainstream newstands)?  Any thank you letters on letterhead from orgs we helped?  Photos?


 * Alternate idea: expand the Trekdom article entry including the logo on the side. Could work for MFI and all the others recently deleted.  Once the page gets too big, someone will then suggest breaking the article into individual chunks.  --Steve 22:14, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Re: Maquis Forces International Page - BOT
Hiya.. I created the MFI page again. With the recent news of The German N24 News using one our logos crediting the Maquis for getting of Bin Laden, I hope we're "noteworthy" again. I used the opening paragraph from our website which looked like it triggered a bot. I hope you can restore that bit of verbage. I tried to take out the "vanity" parts and stick to the facts of what the club is about. Additionally, I still think we were one of the first, if not the first, totally online club. I have included references from the waybackmachine.org and our whois profile which show the website in 1998 and the creation of the domain in 1997 as evidence.
