Welcome

Welcome back to Wikipedia. To find out more about how to make useful contributions, take a look at the welcome page. To stay in Wikipedia, an article has to be about something notable, that is, of general interest. Click on Notability for an explanation of what that means. Also, it must give independently verifiable sources. Articles that don't meet these requirements are deleted. Follow the links below to learn more:

1. To find out more about creating articles, read the introduction, tutorial, and the guide to creating your first article.
2. Do not write articles about yourself, your company, your band, or your best friend - that's a conflict of interest.
3. Wikipedia is not for things you made up one day.
4. For experiments, please use the sandbox.

Royal rumble drinking game

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Royal rumble drinking game, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Royal rumble drinking game.

Answers to your questions

"Deleting the Royal rumble drinking game page would call for deletion of about 50% or more of the articles on wikipedia, for they do not meet the notability requirement... "

Yes, there are far too many non-notable articles, and people are working hard to weed them out - look at the list here of all the ones nominated for deletion on the same day as yours. But What about those other articles? is not a good reason for keeping another non-notable one in.

"...or a vote of EVERY one on wikipedia."

This one has now gone to "Articles for Deletion", where everyone who cares to has a voice. (Not a vote - the issue is settled by the arguments for and against, not by the numbers)

"And how can something become notable people like you continue to block pages from coming up?"

Something doesn't become notable by being in Wikipedia - it has to be notable first, by being good or interesting enough that lots of people are playing it, talking about it, commenting on it, writing about it in the papers... then a Wikipedia article can be written citing independent sources, so it counts as notable.

Because "Outside interference" is not a move, and never will be. And that is pointed out quite a few time in the prose of the article. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 17:55, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
