Strivia article rejected

Hi Excirial,

Recently you rejected my article about Strivia game. The reason is that it's non-notable.

1st of all, thank you for reviewing it.

I'm new to writing something on Wikipedia, English isn't my 1st language and even user interface confuses me sometimes. It will be awesome if you share some additional details about exactly why it was rejected: Strivia doesn't worth to have an article about it, my article isn't good enough (I failed significant coverage, reliable, etc.), my English is too bad, etc?

Thank you in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by OlexandrSoloveyko (talk • contribs) 20:42, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

Hiyas there OlexandrSoloveyko.

First off, welcome to Wikipedia! Trust me - the user interface will eventually grow somewhat less confusing though it could definitely use some polish here and there. As for the article: Every article must demonstrate why it is notable - that is, why it is important \ significant enough to be included in an encyclopedia. On Wikipedia the general criteria for this is the so-called general notability guideline, while there are also some more specific guidelines that deal with specific subject (For example, the notability of music related subjects or businesses. At the very basis all there policies can be summarized as "If there are multiple reliable sources of sufficient size covering the subject in detail, it is likely notable for inclusion". For example, if something received lengthy coverage in multiple major newspapers it is likely more likely meet that threshold then a subject that is only covered by a single local newspaper.

If we look specifically at the Strivia article: it details a new game that was just released. The article has no reliable sources that can back it up, and due to it being new it is quite unlikely there had already been sufficient coverage that could be used to pass this criteria. Note that most individual games tend to have a difficult time passing the notability guideline, and the absolute majority never never manages to do so (Only major "hits" such as Draw Something and similar manage to pass in most cases).
