User talk:JenniferPearce

I have created this from a personel point of view, knowing that the marina is due to open next year and thought it would be of interest to like minded yacht owners, if they are in the area to travel there. I took information from the Karpaz Marina website. It's not emotive so unsure why it needs to be deleted. I've given links to informative facts about the area too.
 * Wikipedia subjects need to be notable (wee WP:N) and discussed in multiple reliable sources (see WP:RS). If this marina should become notable and reliable third-party sources found, then it can have an article later. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 11:27, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

Karpaz is mentioned elsewhere and therefore is discussed. How can more third party sources be found unless I create a source!?
 * No, not your source - an encyclopedia does not publish new work, it reflects what is already written about in other, third-party, sources. As the WP:RS page that I linked to says, "Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published sources" - the page goes on to describe the kind of sources you need, so you will need to find some and add them to the article. (And if such sources don't yet exist, because the marina is not yet open, then it can't have a Wikipedia article yet). Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 11:36, 4 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi. I need to apologise for possibly misleading you here - I was thinking the article had been tagged as A7 (importance not shown) when it was in fact G11 (promotional), and I agree it should not be speedy deleted under that criterion. However, I would still suggest you look for sources to add before you consider moving it to its own article space, as it's likely that someone will propose deletion otherwise.

Thank you for your response. I have added sources that link to items I am talking about in the article - e.g. TRNC, marina, dry dock etc - are these not sources? Do I need external sources too? Regards, Jennifer

Hi, because your userpage looked like an article I have turned into a userspace draft at User:JenniferPearce/Karpaz Gate Marina. You can edit this to improve it to be good enough as an article, and you can also create a WP:userpage that complies with the policy
