I recently added a page but when I do a search, it doesn't come up. Am I doing something wrong?

Likely to be deleted

[edit]

Before you spend too much more time on this article I strongly recommend that you read Wikipedia's policies about notability, verifiability, and reliable sources. Especially read the policy about people. To oversimplify, Wikipedia judges the importance of a subject by the number of mentions of the subject in newspapers or magazines. If there is enough information at newspaper websites to write an article just from those newspaper sources, not from any independent knowledge that you might have about the subject, then the subject probably is notable and those newspaper articles can serve as verifiable sources for the information in the Wikipedia article. From a quick search in Google, it is highly unlikely that you can produce enough independent sources for your article to merit an article in Wikipedia.

If you think the subject is notable by Wikipedia's standards, then go collect your references to reliable sources. Do that before you even write a word of the article. You absolutely must have those references. If you can find them, then you can use them to write the article; if you can't find sources, then all the words you write, however persuasive you think they might be, will not justify keeping the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sbowers3 (talkcontribs) 22:48, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
