Welcome!
Hello, Rmurphy94, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Audio slam, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.
There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

- Please read WP:Wikipedia is not for things made up one day and WP:NEO. Wikipedia does not have articles about newly-invented things, only those established enough for there to be "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" to meet the WP:Notability requirement.

Your question on my talk page
[edit]I'm sorry to have been slow answering your question. Your article could be considered in two ways, as an article about a new term, a newly-invented idea, or as an article about the particular happening on 16 Jan. WP:NFT, which I linked you to above, explains why we don't have articles about newly-invented things until they are well established (see particularly the section about Scrabble at the end), and as a particular event it doesn't meet our notability requirement either, with only one local newspaper report beside the radio station that ran it - see WP:42. If the idea spreads, and they become a regular thing and attract a lot of comment, then an article would be possible. I can email you the text, if you like.
