You may request an article below, but please keep in mind that Requested Articles is more like a list of ideas for interested editors to peruse, rather than an article writing service where we methodically try to write every article. Most requested articles will not be written.

If you really want an article created, you can write it yourself. (If you are [[WP:COI|personally connected to the subject]], you need to submit it through the [[WP:Articles for Creation|Articles for Creation]] process.) However, please be aware that due to our notability rules, many topics do not qualify for an article. Citing multiple quality sources, such as newspapers and books, is usually the key to proving notability.

1. First, check that the article you're looking for doesn't already exist:

* '''{{search link||Search Wikipedia|ns=ns0=1&redirs=1}}''' (or use a [[List_of_search_engines#General|search engine]]) for existing articles. If an article exists, but not at the title you expected, you can '''[[Wikipedia:How to make a redirect|create a redirect]]'''.
* Check your '''spelling'''.
* Articles generally use the '''[[Wikipedia:Use common names|most common name]]''' for the subject. This may not be the official name, scientific name, or another name you have in mind.

2. Next, be sure the article is '''suitable for inclusion''' in Wikipedia. Articles must be about [[WP:N|notable]] topics: those that have received significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. We have a fairly precise definition of what is considered a "[[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable source]]", as well as detailed '''[[Wikipedia:General notability guideline|inclusion guidelines]]'''.

3. Next, search the existing article requests to make sure your subject is not already listed:
<inputbox>
id = ra-searchbox
type = fulltext
width = 25
prefix = Wikipedia:Requested articles
searchbuttonlabel = Search RAs
break = no
</inputbox>

4. Now choose an '''[[#toc|appropriate general topic area below]]''', choose the best sub-topic that fits your subject, and use that link to go to its page. Add your request there by clicking "edit" at the appropriate heading. Give a brief description, with links if possible, for the proposed topic, to aid others in understanding your request.

Please help by fulfilling these requests!

* Help maintain the list by moving misplaced or unsorted requests to the appropriate section.
* Many requests can be fulfilled by creating a redirect from the requested title.
* Fulfilled requests should be removed from the list. Remember to [[Wikipedia:Categorization|categorize]] newly created articles, and tag them as [[Wikipedia:Stubs|stubs]] if they are short.
* More tasks available at [[WP:WPRA|WikiProject Requested Articles]].
