Team 811

Please include any relevant media coverage in Team 811 to better establish the organization's notability and meet the requirements of verifiability. Thanks, Scientizzle 01:40, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Please do not remove legitimate warnings from your talk page or replace them with inappropriate content. Removing or maliciously altering warnings from your talk page will not remove them from the page history. You're welcome to archive your talk page, but be sure to provide a link to any deleted legitimate comments. If you continue to remove or vandalize legitimate warnings from your talk page, you will lose your privilege of editing your talk page. Thanks. Uncompetence 02:47, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

I am not sure I understand what Uncompetence meant in his above comment. Also, I have provided what I believe to be reliable sources which validate and show notability for the Team 811 page I created, and yet the verification and notability tags were re-added. I would also like to point out that there are other FIRST robotics team pages on wikipedia, and have been there for some time, setting the precedent that such topics are indeed noteworthy

I am also unsure what Uncompetence meant, you can ask them if you wish (at their talk page). Notability appears to be the problem with Team 811 (you can also ask the person that re-added the tags to discuss the problems they see on the article's talk page). Notability is usually established from newspaper articles (reliable newspapers) or journal articles or books. None of these are present in the article, perhaps this is the problem. Wikipedia does not work on precedent, so other articles are irrelevant.--Commander Keane 03:41, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Possibly your library will let you access a newspaper database like Factiva to find old newspaper articles. Or you could ask at an appropriate WikiProject for someone to find some for you (Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Computing was the only thing I could think of).--Commander Keane 04:04, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
