Mika Fan Club
The article Mika Fan Club has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. -FisherQueen (Talk) 20:31, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Help tag
I see your help tag- what's your question? I'd be glad to help, if I can. -FisherQueen (Talk) 20:38, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Im new - obviously, and i was trying to make a page which was subjected to a speedy deletion before i had time to figure out the 'edit' process in order to make the page properly (hyperlinking in particular).
 * The problem wasn't the formatting- that isn't something that causes speedy deletion. The problem is that, in general, an internet fan page just wouldn't meet Wikipedia's notability criteria.  Has this web page been written about in any significant sources, like newspapers or magazines?  Has it won any significant internet awards?  You should read the notability criteria for yourself, so you can see what kinds of sources would show that this is one of the few web pages that does meet the criteria. -FisherQueen (Talk) 20:42, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

ah - i see i wasnt aware it was something that needed to be particularly prominant. well it comes up as no.13 out of 29,100,000 results when searching for 'mika' on google (and his wikipedia article is no,3) it runs off of its own server with its own newsletter and has 6,500 users world wide - but i realise now that doesnt classify as something important in the world of wiki
 * Right- they're a starting point, but in order to really show notability, you need reliable sources. (Don't worry, lots of people start off successful Wikipedia careers by having their first article deleted.) -FisherQueen (Talk) 20:48, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

would the following links count - they seem to fit in with the 'questionable' and 'self-projuced' section: http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=78F714A760E4F942 http://www.virginradio.co.uk/music/artists/mika/fans/thread/747/ http://www.musictory.com/comments/4919.html


 * Sorry- you need real articles written about the site, by sources that have someone checking facts- blogs don't work as sources. Have you seen the reliable sources guideline?  It has more information about what sources are most reliable. -FisherQueen (Talk)  —The preceding  signed but undated.
