The Retro Ball

I have removed speedy template on this because, a)original nomination did not give any reason. b) it's not a speedy canditate as definitly non-notable, as one other editor already removed prod template which was placed for that reason, and c) you seem to be getting a hard time, spending more time defending the articles when I'm sure you'd much prefer to spend the time improving them!. I'll drop a note to the person who added the speedy to ask to give reasons in future. They may decide to nominate it for deletion (afd), but if they do, don't worry, if it keeps getting steadily improved, it shouldn't get deleted. MartinRe 16:24, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In the future, though, it may be less trouble to have more of an article written outside wikipedia before creating it here, especially sources for any claims made. Adding just a stub with a website link looks suspicious to many people, which is why it might get flagged as advertising. See WP:NOT to see what wikipedia is not.

Possibility

Hello, me again. A possibility just occurred to me, rather than having separate stubs for each magazine and event, why not start off as having them all as sections in the same article. That way, the one article looks fuller, and you shouldn't get as much difficulty in trying to prove notibility of each item. For instance, I don't think a magazine which hasn't been published yet deserves an article by itself, but would definitely be worth a mention under a main article elsewhere. You can also use redirects, so that people that search for the sub topics get redirected to the main article. What do you think? If you'd be up for that, I can help with merging the articles and setting up the redirects. MartinRe 17:08, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
