Re: Richard Herring article
Hi. I just noticed your comment buried in my talk page -- please place new posts at the bottom of talk pages where they will be noticed right away.

Your article on Richard Herring has a couple of problems. One of them is notability. That is to say, Richard Herring isn't generally well known, and the game you say he created, Six Degrees of Richard Herring, is even less known. One of the ways we can check a subject's notability is by Googling. When I type "Six Degrees of Richard Herring" into Google I get one hit, and it seems to be a listing for some event covered by Herring. By way of comparison, "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" gets approximately 276,000 Google hits (and it already has a Wikipedia article, here). This lack of notability means that the article you want to include is not going to survive. Let me know if you have any other questions. Exploding Boy (talk) 02:02, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
