Notability
Wikipedia has notability criteria for the inclusion of persons, organizations and programs. There is no need to list everything that can be found on Google. Inclusion in Wikipedia should indicate a sufficient level of significance and permanence that there is lasting value to the article. For example, the American Red Cross is worth an article. Philadelphians for Katrina Relief probably isn't. That doesn't mean that the effort is not worthwhile -- its just that the small organization has a limited impact and a specific purpose.

Many Wikpedians are strict about applying these criteria, because publicists often create self-serving Wikipedia articles in order to promote new companies, charities, prizes and what have you. We believe that Wikipedia must not become a publicity vehicle and strive to document only significant things. Read WP:CORP for more information.

I hope this helps explain things a bit. Robert A.West (Talk) 23:46, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
