Recentely the page Steinway Model D-274's content was removed. I am writing to ask if I could reastablish this page, after some major editing and including referances ect.
:The content must be notable. Yes, you can add it by editing more and adding references. Please see below to understand the topics in a nutshell.
:;Reliable References/Reliable Sources:Information on wikipedia should be based on a reliable published source and the articles should be based on third party resources i.e. not created by me or you, but by someone else. The material must be based on some information published by a famous publisher. The sources must be related to the topic. If an article has no reliable sources in it, it must not be in wikipedia. The word “published” mainly means by text, audio, pictures and videos should be published as well as broadcasted on a larger public. So, the youtube videos should have been viewed by as least 500 people. It is better to check if an archived copy of that video exists. You tube videos have archives, no need to worry. Wikipedia’s sources must mainly rely on scholarly articles. The following points can be noted. (1)The sources are reviewed an not out-dated. (2) There must be not other contradicting sources. Another best kinds of sources are newspapers. In India, best for citing, is the Times Of India. Other newspapers also apply. Self published sources are suggested not to be used but can be used at some extent when you are an expert and the source has nothing to do with you and doesn’t show anything personal about you. It is the best to use tertiary sources like Encyclopedia, textbooks, etc. except for wikipedia. Secondary sources can also be used like websites, etc. Blogs are not accepted. Please use {{fact}} when you what to insert [Citation Needed].
:;Notability:It is generally possible for an article to stay on wikipedia if it has enough sources and independent of subject. E.g. XYZ is a dog specie which doesn’t have enough sources. Then XYZ can be included in the Dog’s article itself under proper context. There should be a significant coverage about the topic, not that you wrote just one line about it! It should have reliable sources (explained above). It should be independent of the subject. E.g. Mango seed structure doesn’t need an extra article page. It can be merged to Mango. The article must not contain definitions, your own thoughts, advertisements, extreme external links, memorials, blogs, manuals, guides, and unexpected “going to happen” events. Please don’t add content as a news report. Articles not having notability are deleted. Once we cross the notability stage of editing an article, we will move on to developing an article. --Srinivas 10:08, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Anyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, of course, but in light of [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Pianoplonkers&oldid=307589782#Steinway_Model_D-274_Page the background to this], I advise caution; it might be a good idea to first make the 'proposed article' in your own user space, and ask others to check it before making it live.
Therefore, I suggest you make it as User:Pianoplonkers/Steinway Model D-274. That is not in the live area, so you can make that page, work on it, and try to make an appropriate Wikipedia article.
In order to have an article on Wikipedia, the subject must meet the notability guidelines. The simplest, most important one is the general notability guideline, which says a subject needs significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. That carefully-worded phrase explains quite a lot;
::Significant coverage - such as, a number of news articles about the article topic - not passing mentions
::Reliable sources - well, this is defined in some detail in WP:RS, but the essence of it is - something that is generally trusted - such as the BBC, CNN, The New York Times. Books are good, too. Blog-sites are rarely reliable.
::Independent - we don't use primary sources, such as the persons own website, or their publishers/labels website, or anything like that. We avoid press-releases. We want secondary coverage - other people independently writing about the subject.
The previous incarnation of the article lacked such independent sources. That is why I suggest you get the article checked over before moving it to the live area. To get someone to check it, or uf you have questions, please ask for help - either with a further 'helpme', or talk to us live, with [http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=wikipedia-en-help this] or [http://toolserver.org/~bjelleklang/pjirc/ this].
