User talk:Coup d'etat UK

Welcome
Hello, Coup d&#39;etat UK, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you created appears to be an article about yourself. This is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. Your user page, however, is a great place to write about yourself, making sure to stay within user page guidelines. Just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit it normally.

The page you created about yourself has been or will shortly be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, but if you want to use the content from it, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! RacconishTk 19:01, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Coup d'etat UK


A tag has been placed on Coup d'etat UK requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about it 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 you can assert the notability of the subject,. Clicking that button will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit |the article's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

See the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. RacconishTk 19:02, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Criteria for inclusion
Wikipedia's purpose is to be an encyclopedia. Wikipedia does not exist for the purpose of giving anyone "exposure" on the web, or to serve as a promotion channel.

Please see WP:BAND, which explains the criteria for articles about bands. If a band fails to meet those criteria, the article gets deleted. It's that simple.

Once the band has released a couple of albums, then it might merit an article. But the band has to become notable on its own first. ~Amatulić (talk) 21:05, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Blocked
Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only you. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. ~Amatulić (talk) 21:07, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Good luck
I do wish you luck, but have to point out that Wikipedia can't help you on the way. To have an article here, you must have arrived, not just be up-and-coming. See WP:BAND, and WP:RS about the references needed to prove you have. It is possible to have an article about a group that hasn't charted, as certain types of music aren't chart-driven. There, good coverage will do - in independent (not 'indie'...) reliable (no blogs or own sites) sources. But when you are in the 'pop' part of the market, you need at least one album out (and not released on your 'own label'), or a chart single before you can even think of trying here. It doesn't look like my sort of music, but again good luck. Don't think we are against you - I hate to think how many band articles I've deleted, and I'm only one admin out of loads.
