Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page All Caps (band) has been reverted. Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.myspace.com/allcapsband. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

re: proposed deletion
I don't know if the editor who proposed the deletion of All Caps (band) plans to send the article to WP:AFD for a fuller discussion of possible deletion, but I thought I'd give you some information about Wikipedia policy that might be of helpful in any case. In declining the proposed deletion, you said:

".... the band is internet based and currently not signed to a well known or long standing record company. It can't be expected for there to be a large amount of 'reputable' sources."

Actually, reliable sources not only can be expected, but are expected, and in fact are required by policy. In particular, articles on wikipedia in most cases are expected to be able to meet general notability guideline, which specifically requires a number of reliable, secondary sources. If you'd like the band article to be kept, I'd suggest that you carefully read on both the general notability guideline and the musician/band subject-specific notability guideline and find a way to demonstrate that All Caps meet one, or better both those criteria.

I realize we have what must seem like an awful lot of rules and regulations here, and I understand that that is confusing and frustrating. From our perspective, we are here to build an encyclopedia, and to do that we need to be able to carefully verify the accuracy of that information, not only from mistakes but also from intentional misstatements, and to make sure that we can have enough views of the topic of each article to make sure that we get a neutral point of view within each article. That's why we require multiple reliable sources, it's not personal.

I'm sorry if this is unpleasant news, but those are Wikipedia's policies, and they do serve a valuable purpose. Please feel free to drop me a line on my Talk page if I can be of more help. --joe deckertalk to me 04:55, 23 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi there Angelofdeath67. I was the editor who proposed deletion of All Caps (band), and I just stopped by on your Talk page to echo the sentiments that Joe Decker has mentioned above. I was planning on listing the article at WP:AFD, but, if it would benefit you, I will assume good faith and leave it for at least a week before doing so (although I can't promise that another editor won't list it much earlier). If you can find some reliable, third-party sources and cite them in article before then, then I'm sure that nobody will take itthe issue any further. A good website to check for those kinds of sources is Google News's archive search. Good luck and happy editing! A Thousand Doors (talk) 13:27, 23 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Hello again Angelofdeath67. I've been watching the All Caps (band) article for a while now, and I see that you have been finding several new references for the article. However, I'm afraid that I'm not entirely sure that the refs you've found are reliable enough for Wikipedia. I don't feel that All Caps meet Wikipedia's general notability guidelines, so, to open up a community discussion about the subject, I have listed it at articles for deletion. I hope that you are not too disappointed by this. If you feel that the article should be kept, you're more than welcome to participate in the discussion and explain why. Thank you very much.
