Autobiography with no assertion of notability per WP:BIO; no significant coverage online from WP:Reliable sources; sole claim to notability is winning a competition called "Festival of International Understanding Youth Ambassador", for which I can't find any sources to establish notability. Proposed deletion contested by another new editor, with rationale on the article's talk page. Scopecreep (talk) 06:06, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm a new user and the original author of the page "Brody Hannan". I am just curious as to what exactly I have to do so that the page is not deleted. What are these "rules of notability" and what are "inline citations". I have met Brody and was a fellow Youth Ambassador Nominee in the Festival of International Understanding in 2012. Th information that I have provided is legitimate, therefore, what can I do to ensure the survival of this page?-29th Century Borg — Preceding unsigned comment added by 29th Century Borg (talk • contribs) 09:21, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - According to http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_other_names_is_Brody_Hannan_known_as, which predates creation of the Brody Hannan article, Brody Hannan uses the online alias "29th Century Borg", so it's not quite clear what your aim is here. Notability guidelines for biographies, as noted above, can be found at WP:BIO. Scopecreep (talk) 17:08, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – Wikipedia is NOT many things. It is not, among other things, a directory, a who's who of anything, or the like. Now it's possible that a "list of winners of Festival of International Understanding in Cowra" might include the name Brody Hannan among others, but right now we don't have an article for "Festival of International Understanding in Cowra," let alone a list of the winners (though the festival is mentioned in the article on Cowra, quite appropriately). As well, the Festival appears to be highly local, in Cowra, New South Wales, for which I found a few references which appear to be all local. So, 29th Century Borg, I think that the festival is not notable enough to warrant inclusion in Wikipedia as its own topic, per WP:LOCAL, and the individual winners are likely also not notable enough, per WP:BIO and of course, WP:GNG. Now, you could prove us wrong by providing substantive references to non-local independent sources – such as the Sydney Morning Herald, the Newcastle Post, or the like. Or, perhaps, a reference to the festival and its winners in, say, a nationally-reputable source. But as it stands, the subject is simply not notable. See WP:SINGLEEVENT for more explanation. As for the autobiography topic, I quote: Writing an autobiography on Wikipedia is strongly discouraged, unless your writing has been approved by other editors in the community. Editing a biography about yourself should only be done in clear-cut cases. See WP:AUTO for additional information.Marikafragen (talk) 02:11, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
