If you are familiar with the subject matter, please expand or rewrite the article to establish its '''notability'''. The best way to address this concern is to [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|reference]] published, third-party sources about the subject. If notability cannot be established, the article is more likely to be considered for [[Wikipedia:Redirect|redirection]], [[Wikipedia:Merge|merge]] or ultimately deletion, per [[Wikipedia:Guide to deletion]]. {{#if:|<br> <small>This article has been tagged since '''{{{date}}}'''.</small>}}</div>{{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|{{ns:0}}|{{#if:||{{#if:||}}}}}}}}<!--{{Notability}} end-->
