User talk:SouthOmahaArtsInstitute

Welcome to Wikipedia! I'm glad you want to get involved, but I'm afraid there's a problem with the article you created, The South Omaha Arts Institute. It did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Don't feel too badly; lots of people have a little trouble when creating their first article. You might find it useful to read Your First Article for some good advice about starting to create articles on Wikipedia. Two important rules of thumb are: Avoid writing about yourself, your business, your family and friends, or your web page, and avoid writing about anything that hasn't been written about in reliable sources like books, newspapers, and magazines. Anyway, don't be discouraged. I've deleted the article you created, and feel free to ask me if you have any more questions. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 22:26, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

On notability

I'm sorry that you didn't understand the reason for the deletion. Just because an organization is notable locally does not mean that it is so notable that an international encyclopedia would be incomplete without an article about it. Also, it isn't appropriate for you to create an article about your own organization; if it is truly notable, then someone outside the organization will write about it. You'll want to carefully read the notability criteria and the reliable sources guidelines, but don't recreate the article; instead, have faith that someone outside the organization will create it if it needs to be created. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 22:39, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
