April 2008
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently copied the contents of a page and pasted it into another with a different name. This is what we call a "cut and paste move", and it is very undesirable because it splits the article's history, which is needed for attribution and is helpful in many other ways. The mechanism we use for renaming an article is to move it to a new name which both preserves the page's history and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. In most cases, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. If there is an article that you cannot move yourself by this process, follow the instructions at Requested moves to request the move by another. Also, if there are any other articles that you copied and pasted, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Cut and paste move repair holding pen. ukexpat (talk) 14:00, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Notability of Gandhar, Montreal-born author and singer
A tag has been placed on Gandhar, Montreal-born author and singer requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.  Netsnipe  ►  14:31, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Notice
Before you try to do anything else on Wikipedia, please take the time to read our Notability guidelines and understand that any biography that does not assert the notability of its subject without providing 3rd party references that fall under Reliable sources will be deleted. Please also note that it is inappropriate for you to be writing about yourself or groups that you are involved in per our Conflict of interest policy.

I've also had to spend the last 20 minutes cleaning up after your cut and paste article moves (which disconnects the page histories). Please learn to use move and redirects properly and try to keep disambiguation links as short as possible. For example, Gandhar (clan) would have sufficed instead of "Gandhar, gotra or clan of Jats".

In future, if you're trying to do something complex for the first time, read the help links or ask for help, because cleaning up after your little experiments takes administrators like myself away from anti-vandalism efforts. Thanks. --  Netsnipe  ►  14:53, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Gandhar (person)
A tag has been placed on Gandhar (person) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. 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.

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. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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), 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. ~ Excesses ~ (talk) 12:02, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
