AfD Nomination: Giblink
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but all Wikipedia articles must meet our criteria for inclusion (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Since it does not seem that Giblink meets these criteria, an editor has started a discussion about whether this article should be kept or deleted.

Your opinion on whether this article meets the inclusion criteria is welcome. Please contribute to the discussion by adding your comments at Articles for deletion/Giblink. Don't forget to add four tildes ( ~ ) at the end of each of your comments to sign them.

Discussions such as these usually last five days. In the meantime, you are free to edit the content of the article. Please do not remove the "articles for deletion" template (the box at the top). When the discussion has concluded, a neutral third party will consider all comments and decide whether or not to delete the article. Accounting4Taste 04:05, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Basically, all articles on Wikipedia must conform to three core policies: verifiability, neutrality, and no original research. Those are all pretty straightforward. However, an additional policy that trips up nearly every new user is notability, which kind of follows from those three (how exactly it follows is a matter of debate). But notability basically says that in order to have an article on a topic, we need to be able to show that the topic is important. And not just important, but that it's been the subject of multiple, non-trivial and independent coverage by reliable sources. Any information from the topic itself doesn't count here (ie, no press releases, etc). The coverage should come from newspapers, books, journals (if they're reputable), well-established websites (blogs, forums, or other places where users generate the content are usually out), magazines, etc.

For websites, a more specific version of notability is at WP:WEB, for corporations WP:CORP, or people WP:BIO. But if an article meets notability, neutrality, verifiability, and isn't original research, it's pretty much guaranteed to stay. (Well, unless it was a cut-and-paste copyright violation from somewhere else).

Now, I know that's a lot of stuff to absorb, and we don't expect new users to learn it all at once. So be bold, and don't worry too much if you make a mistake. And if you need help, you can search for it, go to the help desk, or just type a question on your talk page and end it with, and someone will come by. (Or feel free to ask me too :) ). Hope that helps and happy editing, -- B figura (talk) 05:25, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
