Apologies for running afoul of Wikipedia policies. It was unintentional. I will admit to being unclear as to the distinction that has been made between the link currently in place (“Other Uses” section) to the commercial dance troupe The Orb, and the link to my commercial site featuring discussion forums. I also note the existence of declarative sentence (no link) in that same section referencing the rock band The Noosphere, which one also presumes is a commercial enterprise. Any guidance/explanation you could provide in this regard so that I may bring my submission in line with Wikipedia standards would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your assistance and consideration.

 * The difference is that the other items have been established as being notable by the community. This can be seen by the fact that they have articles about them. However the rock band named "Noosphere" appears to be less notable so it should probably be deleted too. As for the forum, if there were a 3rd-party article about it then it would have it's relevance and notability established. ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 20:31, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Understood. Hopefully at some point someone will consider what we are trying to establish with our site noteworthy enough to write an article about. Thanks for the reply and information. TNSphere (talk) 16:30, 19 September 2008 (UTC)TNSphere


 * FYI, the standards for inclusion as an article are at WP:WEB. Best of luck with the project. ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 16:49, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
