AllAboutTheHero
This is an automated message from VWBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of AllAboutTheHero, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.allaboutthehero.net/bio.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) VWBot (talk) 16:34, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of AllAboutTheHero


A tag has been placed on AllAboutTheHero, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It appears to be a clear copyright infringement. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of 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 the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to AllAboutTheHero. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 21:28, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Advice
Some reading for you: first, WP:BAND about notability for bands. Second, WP:RS about reliable independent sources that are needed to prove it. But, third is WP:COI about editing concerning you and yours - not forbidden but not recommended, and fourth (but most important) is WP:COPYVIO about not using already published material here. Wikipedia is licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0 for anybdy anywhere to use. Your band's web page isn't licensed under this. It's copyright, and could only be used if you licensed it under CC whatsit. I don't recommend doing that, as it would just get deleted again as non-notable. On Facebook and Myspace, you can just put what you want. Not so here - this is an encyclopaedia, not a profile host. Sorry, but just existing isn't enough - same as just attending school isn't enough to pass exams. There has to be a lot more - and proof. Peridon (talk) 21:50, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Replying to your message at my page: Sorry, you haven't got it yet. You may well have written it. You probably did write it. But, it's published - and it's copyright to you outside here. What I'm typing here is new and original, and as soon as I click the button it's copyright to me (Peridon), but licensed for anyone in the world to use. (Not like my stories and plays - but they're not here.) Stuff that's already been made public (= published) is not automatically licensed under Creative Commons (the CC bit of the thing). I can't put your article back, because I'd be going against WP:COPYVIO even more than you would be reposting it. You seem to be missing the point about notability, too. There was no indication of notability (our definition, not Webster's or the OED's). READ those policies, and please understand that, as I said, existence does not equal notability. I've been in bands, and guested with other bands. I've played in a band live to a 10,000 crowd. But we wouldn't pass the WP:BAND test. Sorry, but so far as I can see, neither do you yet. You may feel you deserve an article for doing the work of God. Sorry again, but we don't count that as notable per se. Billy Graham gets an article, but he's got the refs. I'm not trying to put you down. I'm trying to explain as nicely as I can that on the present showing, you have as much chance of an article as I have of becoming Pope. (Even if I convert...) Get some references from outside your site, your church and the magazines they publish or are regularly seen in. No blogs, forums, wikis (not even us), blogspots, wordpress, Yahoo! Groups, Facebook etc, Twitter etc. Then ask for advice. Not just me - try User talk:MelanieN or User talk:Cindamuse. Both knowledgeable and friendly and helpful (assuming you don't catch them on a bad hair day - never seen one yet with either of them). One final tip - don't put any spaces at the start of lines, and separate paragraphs with a blank line. Won't help the notability, but will help us reading it.
