13 Hour Drive
This was a non-notable band as per the criteria set out in WP:Music. (aeropagitica) 20:53, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 3 hours for vandalizing Wikipedia. If you wish to make useful contributions, you are welcome to come back after the block expires.


 * Hello, I don't even know if I am doing this correctly, but I wanted to inquire about the deletion of a page that was being created. The other day I was creating this page for some musicians and it was deleted. I thought that I did it incorrectly and re did it, however, it was deleted again and apparently I was said to be vandalizing! Sorry about that, but I wasn't aware that I was doing anything of harm! Anyhow, I read further and noticed that it was blocked and it is protected(?). I wanted to know if there is anyway to unblock this and be able to continue my posting. Please let me know at your earliest convenience. Thank you in advance for your help! --13hourdrive 01:38, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

This page was deleted because the band is non-notable, according to the criteria set out in WP:Music. Specifically, the band has not released an album on a big major or indie label as yet, where Wikipedia requires two major-label or one indie releases reaching Gold status. No other claims of notability were mentioned. The repeated recreation of non-notable articles is considered vandalism, which is why you were blocked temporarily and the article was deleted and protected. Why not create a Myspace profile for the band until they reach notable status? (aeropagitica) 08:41, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
