Re: Life After Deletion
editHello Gillian, at Teahouse you were told to contact the deleting administrator, I'm am not the deleting admin nor am I an admin. From looking at that AfD the deleting admin seems to be to Michig (talk · contribs) so you should contact him/her, additionally you should use an userspace draft to work on the article best wishes. Hope this helps ★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★ 11:51, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
- I have undeleted that article and placed it in your userspace where you can continue to work on it. It's here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Gillian_Young/Women_Live. When you think it's ready, you have the option of having it reviewed before moving it live by clicking Submit this page in the box at the top. I recommend that since otherwise it may be deleted again for similar reasons. Please let me know if you have any questions, and thanks for taking advantage of the Teahouse with your great questions.

Notability
editHi, Gillian. I am a host at Teahouse and I wanted to leave you a few thoughts on notability. Please don't confuse what we call notability with importance or value. When we discuss notability here at Wikipedia, what we are talking about is the standard for inclusion in the encyclopedia. It is a relatively specific concept. Wikipedia, like all encyclopedias, is a tertiary source. That is to say, we only publish what others are writing about any given subject. Since you say you have a magazine article about your subject, now you are on your way to showing notability. Think of it this way...we only publish what others have made note of. So if others are writing about your subject in reliable sources (WP:RS), that is what you need to show that your article should be in the encyclopedia. Each and every fact does not have to be referenced to secondary reliable sources, only the controversial ones. But you have to have references showing that reliable second party sources like newspapers and magazines are talking about your subject to show it should be included in the encyclopedia. Does that clear up the notability question for you? To write back to me, just click on the talk button next to my signature and then click on new section on my talk page.
