Contraband (band)
If you are trying to create a new article, please do not create it by changing an existing page, you will need a different title, maybe Contraband (Ohio band). I have reverted your edits but the content you created is in the page history and can be copied into a new article. Also you may want to read Your first article for more information on writing an article, as the article you were writing would probably have been deleted. The relevant notability guideline for bands is at WP:MUSIC. --Snigbrook ( talk ) 20:37, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Matthew Graves
A tag has been placed on Matthew Graves 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 person or group of people, 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, 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 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. ukexpat (talk) 20:58, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
