You will need to first [[Special:Userlogin|register an account]], which has [[Wikipedia:Why create an account?|many benefits]], including the ability to create articles. Once you have registered, please [[Wikipedia:Searching|search]] Wikipedia first to make sure that an article does not ''already exist'' on the subject. Please also review a few of our relevant policies and guidelines which all articles should comport with. As Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, articles must not contain [[Wikipedia:No original research|original research]], must be written from a [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|neutral point of view]], should [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|cite]] to [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable sources]] which [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verify]] their content and must not contain [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons|unsourced, negative content about living people]].
 
 
 
Articles must also demonstrate the [[Wikipedia:Notability|notability]] of the subject. Please see our subject specific guidelines for [[Wikipedia:Notability (people)|people]], [[Wikipedia:Notability (music)|bands and musicians]], [[Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)|companies and organizations]] and [[Wikipedia:Notability (web)|web content]] and note that if you are closely associated with the subject, our [[Wikipedia:Conflict of interest|conflict of interest guideline]] strongly recommends against ''you'' creating the article.
 
 
 
If you still think an article is appropriate, see [[Help:Starting a new page]]. You might also look at [[Wikipedia:Your first article]] and [[Wikipedia:How to write a great article]] for guidance, and please consider taking a tour through the [[Wikipedia:Tutorial]] so that you know how to properly format the article before creation.

==Usage==
 
This template should always be [[WP:SUBST|substituted]] by prefixing "subst:" inside the template code. Thus use <nowiki>{{</nowiki>'''subst:'''<nowiki>Creation2}}</nowiki> rather than <nowiki>{{Creation2}}</nowiki>.</noinclude>
