This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Lionel Bastos, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://www.seedmusic.co.za/artistpage.php?artist=Lionel+Bastos. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

This message was placed automatically, and 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 and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 09:03, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Lionel Bastos
A tag has been placed on Lionel Bastos 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Advice
Hi. This is a belated answer to your message on my talk page. I was coming to say, there is nothing I can usefully restore, because the first version was a copyright violation and the second was no more than a website link, but you could put an article in again; now I see you have done that, and it has been deleted again. Don't be downhearted, but have a look at some of the links from the Welcome paragraph above to learn more about contributing. WP:Your first article is a good starting point and worth reading carefully, but also check out WP:Notability - that's what you have to establish if the article is to stay in, and it needs to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and press releases. The test is, have other people, independent of the subject, thought it important and interesting enough to write about? More detail, for musical performers, at WP:MUSICBIO.
