"The Vic & Helen Show" article
editDear Excirial,
I'm asking (in good faith) in regard to my declined submission of an article dedicated to documenting a web-created sitcom, (The Vic & Helen Show.)
(At this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/The_Vic_%26_Helen_Show)
I would first like to clarify that I am NOT the owner of said sitcom; I have been given permission by the owner (Richard Thripp) to write an unbiased and informative documentation of the series, for encyclopedic means. Wikipedia, in my opinion, is the best option there is.
I would also like to make known that I just turned 15, and am not much of a tech wiz. (My vocabulary is advanced, since my mother is an English teacher, but I digress.) I was, of course, disappointed in the rejection, especially since I had devoted at least 4 hours to writing, proofreading, and checking references for the cause.
To get to the point, I would like to kindly ask you how I was not specific in listing references. Why was this so? It is important in this case to note that there are really not several Web sources to get these references from. Given that the show being documented is relatively small, (absolutely NOT to say it isn't worth documenting,) the number of Web sources are limited to the actual website, (http://vicandhelen.com/) and the YouTube channel, (http://youtube.com/procommenter/) BOTH of which contain all information about the series, as posted by no less than the actual creator. Basically, what I am saying is that I see no reason why the references I gave did not seem credible. I am desperately asking for clarification! What could I have done better?
I would very much appreciate if you reconsider, or at least get back to me. I spent a lot of time and effort, devoted to this cause, as it is very important, and certainly noteworthy.
Thank you, very much for your time, and I look forward to hearing back from you. - JTProductionsWiki — Preceding unsigned comment added by JTProductionsWiki (talk • contribs) 18:38, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
- Hello there TProductionsWiki,
- In order for an article to be on Wikipedia, it must meet several policies:
- The article must be sufficiently notable for a standalone article - that is, important enough to warrant encyclopedic inclusion.
- The article's claims to notability must also be verifiable trough the use of reliable, secondary sources.
- And finally, the article must be written from a neutral point of view.
- The article is indeed quite notable, but doesn't contain any real claim to notability. In cases where such a specific claim isn't present, the general notability guideline is used to verify its notability. Summarized this guideline states "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article or stand-alone list.". The only sources provided in the article are primary sources though, which aren't considered reliable or usable as far as the notability guideline goes.
