Re: Mount Oral

Re your message: Uh huh. Well, if you can provide third-party, reliable sources that covers that particular feature to establish its notability, I will release the block. Being on Facebook does not establish the joke's notability. Until the time you can establish its notability, Wikipedia is not for things you made up one day. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:05, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Re your message: Your "article" contained very dubious "facts". Protection against nuclear warheads? Beef jerky? Teletubbies? Uh huh. As I told you before, Wikipedia is not for things you made up one day nor for joke articles. Feel free to make stuff up on the Facebook page, but not on Wikipedia articles. I am quite well aware that Oral Roberts University exists. That isn't the issue. The issue is your joke article is not appropriate. I have given you a lot of slack with this discussion by answering seriously to all of your questions. However, enough is enough. I told you what the problems are, do not continue complaining about it. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:52, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Re your message: My previous message to you provided a link to what defines a third-party, reliable source. The short answer to your question is that if you can provide citations to news coverage that is outside of the university, then that would establish this feature's notability. For example, coverage in a major newspaper like The New York Times would be a third-party, reliable source. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:18, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

So I looked at your deleted "article" again and if one were to remove the "facts" and "rumors", you end up with:

Mount Oral is the name for what appears to be a monstrously large speed bump at the entrance to the commuter parking lot to Oral Roberts' University in Tulsa, Oklahoma. However, the original use of The Mount was for much more than slowing down....

Okay, so it's a speed bump in a parking lot. There are thousands perhaps even millions of speed bumps in parking lots around the world. Why is this one particularly notable? Has anybody outside of the student population written about it? Is there a news article student protests or celebrations about this speed bump? Has the speed bump been covered in the Tulsa World? Been on TV on KJRH, KOTV, or KTUL? If it has, then that is what means by coverage from third-party, reliable sources. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:31, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Alcove Talks

Please stop creating articles about things made up by your friends. I already told you once that Wikipedia is not for such things. Please stop now. Thank you. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:30, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
