Notability of Whempys LAN
A tag has been placed on Whempys LAN requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. B figura (talk) 03:18, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

This is a legitimate description of an important organizational event. Many other LAN parties mentioned in the LAN Party entry have individual entries, and as Whempy's LAN Party is probably the longest running LAN party in Ohio (going on 10 years), it is worthy of note in this encyclopedia. We are an established organization with sponsorship, not just a small group of friends who host this out of their basement. We deserve the same respect as other LANs that have Wiki entries. Whempy's LAN has lasted almost as long as Quake con, and it one of the longest lasing LANs in the world.
