If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.
If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, Alf 15:45, 28 August 2005 (UTC).
Hydrogen peroxide as "generally accepted as safe"[edit]
Hi. The way you phrased it, it sounded like it was allright for hydrogen peroxide to be in food. It's allowed to be used in the processing of food and the concentration of hydrogen peroxide in the finished product must be below a certain (very low) level to be allowed. Maybe that's what you meant. As it stood, your edit would have been misleading. Alex.tan 01:07, August 30, 2005 (UTC)

I just wanted to touch bases with you on the above deletion notice. The question raised was not presented to the Notability Noticeboard. In your effort to present the question, you actually created an article entitled "Tiffany Alvord prefix:Wikipedia:Notability/Noticeboard". To answer your question, when considering creating an article about Alvord, we need to establish notability by showing that she has been the subject of significant published, secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. Once that threshold is met, it becomes recognized in accordance with the general notability guidelines. Hope this helps. Best regards, Cindy(talk to me) 15:02, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
- Cindy, thanks for letting me know why the page was deleted, and thanks for quickly deleting (fixing) my mistake. I shall feel rather silly and hide my head in public for a few hours and try harder next time. That said, I did read the links you sent before I posted, and it occurred to me that I may not have been explicit enough with my question. I shall try again.
Attempt 2 - Social Media Notability Question[edit]
If a person is only popular (noteworthy) on a social media site (YouTube and Facebook), and there has been no additional substantial coverage in other media, are they automatically precluded from having a Wikipedia page? The artist I mentioned is not very well known outside of her Facebook and YouTube pages, and she may never be. But the number of people who (a) subscribe to and like her (a touch under a million), and (b) regularly listen to her music (~450 000 - ~9 million) (where ~ is the accounting approximate and not the logical negation) would suggest that she is at least minimally notable.
In summary (I talk a lot in real life too):
- If a person is only notable on a social media site, is that enough to fulfill Wikipedia's requirements?
- If yes to the above, what are the numbers that make it acceptable?
Should I move this to the notability questions page? And just to abuse you slightly further, if notability on social media sites only is not sufficient, where would the correct forum to discuss that policy be?
Thanks, Jdoller (talk) 19:18, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
