[hackerspaces] Wikipedia entries on hackerspaces

The Wikipedia article on the very first hackerspace I ever visited, HacDC,
is up for deletion.

And I don't disagree. It's a horrible little article, short on interesting
details, long on administrivia, and most crucially, it fails to establish
relevance.

HacDC IS relevant though, and I (with your help) am going to edit the
article and make that obvious. If you know of a third-party source to help
establish that relevance, please either add it directly, mention it on the
article's talk page, or just mention it here in this thread.

And while I'm on the subject, i3Detroit's own article was prematurely
created, and justifiably deleted, back in 2009. We're a lot more relevant
now, too, and have a handy collection of links to back it up:
http://i3detroit.com/wi/index.php?title=In_the_Media

If you think your space belongs on Wikipedia too, start by amassing such a
collection of links. Then mention it here and see what happens...
