The prod was contested. Fails WP:NOT. Joe Chill (talk) 08:57, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm new to wikipedia. I have read a lot of how to edit pages but I'm still unsure what exactly I need to do in order to prevent this from getting deleted? I just don't understand how it's "not news" if I linked to a news website?

Any pointers?

Thanks in advance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Theshadowincident (talk • contribs) 09:08, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Click on the link. The link says "Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events. While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion. For example, routine news reporting on things like announcements, sports, or celebrities is not a sufficient basis for inclusion in the encyclopedia. While including information on recent developments is sometimes appropriate, breaking news should not be emphasized or otherwise treated differently from other information. Timely news subjects not suitable for Wikipedia may be suitable for our sister project Wikinews. See also: Wikipedia:Notability (events)". Joe Chill (talk) 09:11, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Please read this to learn how to start your first article. "not news" means Wikipedia(not the article nor the site) is not a place for news. News event should be notable for it to be included. Also, since you seem to be associated with the site, you are probably not the best person to create the article - please read this. Have a nice day! :) Cheers,  Blodance  the   Seeker   09:50, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
