Answer to your message on my talk page
editRead WP:Your first article for advice. The most important things to consider are:
- Wikipedia:Notability. That is the test used to decide whether a subject is suitable for an encyclopedia article. It is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people not connected with the subject thought it significant enough to write substantial comment about? See also ]]WP:Notability (summary)]].
- Take care not to write promotionally. If your article tries to "sell" its subject, and say how wonderful it is, it will not be accepted. Wikipedia requires a WP:Neutral point of view - no opinions, just facts.
I suggest that you use the WP:Article wizard to guide you through the process. JohnCD (talk) 10:42, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
