Hello, Charlyman, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Freshgreen, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

Proposed deletion of Freshgreen


The article Freshgreen has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Newmanoconnor (talk) 19:31, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Freshgreen


A tag has been placed on Freshgreen 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 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. 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. Man way  19:31, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

References and notability
Sorry about that, but Wikipedia isn't for the 'up and coming'. It's to record the arrived (and the past it too...). We insist on references, especially for living people, so until they can be found and provided, it's too soon for an article. For musicians, the standard is given at WP:BAND, and for info on reliable independent sources, please see WP:RS. (Oddly, we don't count Wikipedia as a reliable source when it comes to assessing notability, nor do we count someone's own site or any blogs, reverbnation, discogs or Amazon.) I wish Freshgreen success, and some day I hope he qualifies for an article. Peridon (talk) 20:05, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
