Speedy deletion nomination of Skepsis (band)


A tag has been placed on Skepsis (band) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Zachlipton (talk) 04:12, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages, as you did with Skepsis (band). Doing so won't stop the discussion from taking place. You are, however, welcome to comment about the proposed deletion on the appropriate page. Thank you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Skepsis (band), you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. ''If you are A Penner from the band then a COI probably exists. This can be solved by establishing notability and requesting page creation from other editors.''

Your addition to Skepsis (band) has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. The site gives "copyright 2010" at the bottom of the page Chaosdruid (talk) 04:39, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Skepsis entries
Hi

I realise that the three notices may seem a little much all in one go.

Unfortunately the material seems like a complete copy of the material on - it could also be the case that the material on the site is from the Wikipage but that is not shown on the site.

I realise that if you are A Penner then it is likely that the material there may well have been added by yourself or another band member/promo staff.

If this is the case then apologies but policy on copyright is tight as we cannot leave Wiki open to possible lawsuits for copyright infringement.

If there is any way in which I can help I would be more than happy to start dialogue to establish notability and create an acceptable page.

 * There are two issues with attempting to set up an article on Skepsis:
 * The text cannot be copied from a copyrighted/all-rights-reserved source, as the prior version was.
 * The text must make clear how the band is a significant or important band.
 * On the latter point, we don't dispute that the band exists; we dispute whether the band has already achieved notability. If you can demonstrate that—either by specific achievements or showing substantial coverage in reliable sources, please do so. (However, substantial coverage is more than a one-paragraph mini-story.)
 * The former point is not negotiable. Text may not be copied onto Wikipedia that infringes on other sites' copyrights. —C.Fred (talk) 04:49, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
