<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">The Wikipedia article on the very first hackerspace I ever visited, HacDC,<br>
is up for deletion.<br>
<br>
And I don't disagree. It's a horrible little article, short on interesting<br>
details, long on administrivia, and most crucially, it fails to establish<br>
relevance.<br>
<br>
HacDC IS relevant though, and I (with your help) am going to edit the<br>
article and make that obvious. If you know of a third-party source to help<br>
establish that relevance, please either add it directly, mention it on the<br>
article's talk page, or just mention it here in this thread.<br>
<br>
And while I'm on the subject, i3Detroit's own article was prematurely<br>
created, and justifiably deleted, back in 2009. We're a lot more relevant<br>
now, too, and have a handy collection of links to back it up:<br>
<a href="http://i3detroit.com/wi/index.php?title=In_the_Media" target="_blank">http://i3detroit.com/wi/index.php?title=In_the_Media</a><br>
<br>
If you think your space belongs on Wikipedia too, start by amassing such a<br>
collection of links. Then mention it here and see what happens...<br>
