Notability
HI. Welcome, again. You wrote that you "do not think it is fair to label it "non-notable". Before anything was notable, it was non-notable." Here on Wikipedia, notability is a technical term for our criterion for admission: has a subject already had "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" ? An encyclopedia only reports on things that are already established - WIkipedia is not the way for anything to become notable. See also WP:No original research and Wikipedia is not for things made up one day. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 12:08, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
