Pinrod Article

[edit]

This is in response to the article you reviewed and declined sent by me. I understand that there are no citations from reliable sources, but that's because Pinrod is not a well known topic. I've only heard about him from word of mouth dating back to the boy who first introduced the idea. There is nothing else about him anywhere. However, there was a time when there was nothing about the Loch Ness Monster or Bigfoot, and someone wrote a book or an internet article about them with nothing to go off of other than personal experience or other people's words, and no real sources to cite. Now those two monsters are well known throughout the world and investigations on them continue today. I wish to start something, to introduce Pinrod to the world, and maybe someday someone will write an article about Pinrod on another website, and use the one I have created as a source. So please, reconsider, and post my article, to contribute in the first steps of making an unknown subject, known. Information doctor (talk) 02:23, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hiyas there Information Doctor,
Wikipedia itself is an encyclopedia, and the basis of any encyclopedia is that it is a collation of information found in reliable sources. This means that Wikipedia will always be the last place where new information can be found, since it is dependent on what other people write before anything can be included.
If there is no external information available, the article counts as original research, which is never included par the linked policy. Once people start writing reliable sources about the subject of the article, that concern is voided of course. But for now it would mean that the article cannot be accepted due to the lack of sourcing.
