Wikipedia:Sometimes the answer is "no"
 | This is an essay on notability. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
 | This page in a nutshell: Some topics are simply not notable (by Wikipedia's definition of "notable"). |
There are topics which are simply not notable by Wikipedia's definition of the term. If you want to write about such a subject, we have some unfortunate news: sometimes the answer is "no". Wikipedia will not host an article on a non-notable subject.
But what if I want to try anyways?
[edit]In a word: don't. In more than a word, you will just waste your time. To be kept, an article must contain significant coverage in reliable sources which are independent of the subject. This is sometimes called "Wikipedia's golden rule". There is no getting around this, and even expertly-written articles which lack such coverage will be deleted anyways.
What should I do instead?
[edit]A great alternative is to write about the topic somewhere else. We have a category dedicated to listing free web hosting services, which you can use to set up your own website dedicated to the subject. If you already wrote content for Wikipedia and it was deleted, you can go to requests for undeletion and request that the article be emailed to you.
"No" does not mean "never"
[edit]Sometimes topics which were not notable become notable. In fact, we maintain a list of prominent topics which were deleted but have since become the subject of an article. Our articles about the iPhone (discussion), Windows 8 (discussion), and Meghan Markle (discussion) were all correctly deleted at one point because they were not notable at the time.
However, our policies explicitly forbid writing about subjects because they will be notable someday. We need the subject to become notable before we will host an article on the subject.
