Proposed deletion of Skunkstepper
Hello, DJ Wako. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Skunkstepper, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Skunkstepper to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.

If you don't understand this message, you can leave a note on my talk page.

Thanks, Wakowako (talk) 12:00, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Skunkstepper


A tag has been placed on Skunkstepper, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

''it meets CSD:A7 (person). I can find no reference to this being Daniel Pearce's stage name, which would make a redirect inappropriate. If it is a different person, A7 applies outright''

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.

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. -- Patchy1 12:51, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Here's the problem.
Hey, DJ Wako, I saw that you've recreated Skunkstepper again. The problem with the article is that it doesn't give any indications of importance or significance. The threshold for new articles on Wikipedia is called "notability" This basically means that a subject must have been covered in depth by multiple reliable sources that are independent of each other and the subject. Without those sources, we don't have anything to base our article on, so we can't have one. The article you've written only cites the artist's own website, which is neither a reliable source nor independent of the artist, so it doesn't count. I'm going to have to delete it again; please keep the notability criteria, especially the ones found here, before you try to make it again. If you have any questions, you can ask me on my talk page, or you can ask at the Teahouse, which is a place for new users to ask any question they like in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Thanks!

 * I've replied here, at the bottom of the page. (It's customary on Wikipedia to put new questions and topics at the bottom of a talk page; I've moved it to the bottom, so no worries.) Writ Keeper &#9863;&#9812; 16:01, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
