;It's really that simple most of the time! Please ensure the article doesn't already exist under an alternate title. Just create a redirect for the synonymous and specific title in that case (see the [[H:CHEAT|cheatsheet]] for further wikimarkup details on how to create redirects). Click [[WP:TOPRED|here]] for a list of ''possibly'' notable uncreated article topics. Click [[Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions|here]] then on "Ask a question" to ask a question about Wikipedia. Click [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Your_first_article_simpleYour_first_article&action=edit&section=new here] to leave a question about or a recommendation for this page.
 
*'''A note''': You don't have to have three sources, it will just generally protect your article from being deleted if you have more than one. Just make sure you establish notability (keep reading). Once created, find other Wikipedia articles that should naturally link to your article to make sure it is integrated into the site (and not an "[[WP:Orphan|orphan]]"). You can also add a [[WP:Category|category]] or three at the bottom of the page with: <code><nowiki>[[Category:Whatever category it fits into]]</nowiki></code>. Usually, just copying a couple categories from the bottom of an article that is a similar topic helps.
