I am an editor of the (Danish) Wikipedia, and I am not very happy that it isn't possible to keep an article on Wikipedia for TASVideos. The website doesn't have enough variegated external references. Is there a way that we could make it so that there are other different various websites, such as news sites, database websites, etc., that mention TASVideos, so that a TASVideos article can be created without deletion? This may be a dumb question to ask here, but it always annoyed me how I tried once to make a TASVideos article, but they deleted it for not having enough sources, and I keep wanting there to be an article about it, but it keeps not being there. Anybody have any ideas?

Those won't work, they're too close to the community to be sufficiently objective for Wikipedia's purposes. Ready Steady Yeti, this is more of a question for the Wikipedia community than it is for our own. They'll be able to talk you through the process of finding and vetting acceptable references. Lord knows TVTropes has been around forever and their Wikipedia page got deleted more than once for lack of acceptable references.

I second Pokota's suggestion. Also, there should be at least a few articles out there talking about the site's purpose, like the Ars Technica and ExtremeTech articles about Masterjun's famous SMW ACE run. The Wiki: SiteHistory page also mentions the site being featured in magazines and "Slashdot", whatever that is. You can use these to help you get started.
