Dragsterhund

Dragsterhund, links to forums such as enthusiast/fan sites are excluded under WP:EL and specifically this guideline: LINKS TO BE AVOIDED Specifically #s four and eleven, to wit:

4 Links mainly intended to promote a website.
11 Links to social networking sites (such as MySpace), discussion forums/groups (such as Yahoo! Groups) or USENET.

ALL external links to enthusiast sites are to be posted in the OpenDirectory, not directly in the Wikipedia article. Since you only joined Wikipedia recently, and have only edited this page, I understand your confusion about the rules -- there are plenty of them.

If you have external sites which are enthusiast-related, regardless who they are, put them in dmoz. They do not belong in any article, despite other editors being lax or ignorant of WP:EL. If you have any further questions, I can certainly help.

Please do not accuse me of breaking Wikipedia rules until you are certain; and since you are inexperienced with Wikipedia, perhaps at this point you should be asking questions rather than making accusations. Please do not re-add the link, or any other link to any forum.

Hey man

I bet you don't want to put up a linky to the DML now, do you? :)

See you in cyberspace!

Your submission at Articles for creation: Amir Siraj (November 1)

Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments1 person in discussion

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Cabrils was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs to

meet any of the eight academic-specific criteria
or cite multiple reliable, secondary sources independent of the subject, which cover the subject in some depth

Make sure your draft meets one of the criteria above before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If the subject does not meet any of the criteria, it is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Well done on creating the draft, and it may potentially meet the relevant requirements (including WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO, WP:NPROF) but presently it is not clear that it does. As other reviewers have noted, Wikipedia's basic requirement for entry is that the subject is notable. Essentially subjects are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. To properly create such a draft page, please see the articles ‘Your First Article’, ‘Referencing for Beginners’ and ‘Easier Referencing for Beginners’. Also, if you have any connection to the subject, including being paid, you have a conflict of interest that you must declare on your Talk page (to see instructions on how to do this please click the link). Please familiarise yourself with these pages before amending the draft. If you feel you can meet these requirements (it would help our volunteer reviewers by identifying, on the draft's talk page, the WP:THREE best sources that establish notability of the subject) then resubmit the page and leave a note for me on my talk page and I would be happy to reassess.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Amir Siraj and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
