666 rail

Non-notable sporting event. Only Google hits for "Chris Haffey" "666 rail" lead to forum postings and a YouTube video. Talk page says this "is considered a great achievement by the Aggressive Skating community," so it should be mentioned in a press article or a organizations web page somewhere. Lacks reliable sources. Contested prod. eaolson 13:51, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:RS unless somebody can find reliable sources. Crystallina 15:02, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi, can i ask what would make this article better? Because I don't understand why there needs to be any reference to this in the media, Aggressive Skating is becoming an ever incresingly popular sport so we want people to know about great acheivements that have happened in the sport and give the public a place where they can find out information about the acheivemnts.--Churchill 13:53, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as Originial Research and non-notable. As per the above question, Wikipedia requires reliable, independent sources for articles. Because anyone can post to youtube or a blog, such sites are not considered reliable sources of information. Also, most Wikipedia requires that the subjects of articles be notable (see Wikipedia:Notability). Media articles or references in academic literature easily assert notability, but blogs and youtube do not. Dozens of articles are deleted on the basis of notability every day. However, if you can provide citations to reliable references for the event, it will be considered notable and factual. Just find a few, and everyone will be happy. If there are none, it is likely that the article will not be considered notable enough for Wikipedia. However, you can always move the article to a subpage of your userpage so that people can still access the information. Cool3 19:50, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
