As for notability, I (again only on suspicion) believe that people living outside of

I'm thinking that what is happening here is an interest and knowledge about the topic - and desire to have the information published. The question isn't whether the information isn't interesting or important to the contributors wishing to write it, it's whether or not it's proper content for an

3) Some of the content is not notable. Although it's interesting to have information published about the names and those involved in each year's parliament, it's not notable for this purpose. This is another reason why articles may be deleted - if the topic isn't notable. Please see
378:
2) If there aren't secondary sources for content, the content isn't considered notable from the perspective of an encyclopedia article - no one in the book, magazine or journal industry found that information notable enough to write an article about

When working on the
Queensland section I could find multiple secondary sources with a quick google search. I suspect things have changes since comments about a lack of sources were made in 2013 so please check before reverting anything.

The YMCA NSW Youth
Parliament is run annually by a volunteer taskforce. The YMCA NSW Youth Parliament is the only Youth Parliament across Australia that does not receive funding from the State Government.--

I am guessing that there is first hand knowledge of how the program works - and an intention to clarify some of the information (e.g., training camp program, etc.). Unfortunately, the test of
398:, it seemed to make sense to include the state information in this article and make it as robust and sound as possible so that it won't be deleted. That was my reasoning at the time.

1) Primary sources are not considered reliable sources (objectivity, lack of editorial review, biased, etc.) So, articles with primary sources can be deleted as a result. Please see

Removed all content that wasn't notable and was uncited. Where there is no source of information, and it's not on the YMCA NSW Youth
Parliament sites, it appears to be

I thought I'd spell out my reasoning and invite people from the
Australia Wikiproject and on these talk pages to weigh in on this topic. What are people's votes:

One option might be to remove all uncited information to help make it clearer - but at the least we shouldn't add any more uncited info to the article, right?--

There seem to have been issues with the Youth
Parliament articles - regarding use of primary sources and notability of some of the content.

Parliament and finding reliable sources.

So, let me tackle a couple of things, from the perspective of creating an encyclopedia article, and see if that helps:
