Nonmanifold Geometry

I run cleanup on the polygon then merge all problem vertices but still can't convert to sub-d. Is this mesh unable to be changed to a sub-d?

could be right

you're right it would work if i deleted them... but the tutorial i'm doing looks like it has these faces. its kinda hard to see what i'm supposed to do with this tutorial and it would help if it was in english.
Also I'm supposed to extrude the faces on this area but when i extrude it pulls the faces in leaving a hole rather then pulling new faces out to create thickness. why does this happen?
