Why "your" article was deleted
Damian, in order for any article to be worthy of a place here, it needs to demonstrate notability. In the case of musicians and bands, the criteria at WP:BAND are a useful guide. If you think you fulfil them, you need to demonstrate that, preferably with sources. Otherwise, the article is subject to "speedy" deleting, or the longer route called WP:Afd. I hope that's helpful. One more piece of advice - please stay cool in your interaction with other editors. If you want to discuss any of this, I'm happy for you to use my talk page or this one. --Dweller 10:46, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Dweller, Thanks for clarifying. I do belive I fulfill the criteria. My record label is on Wikipedia and I am listed in their profile here. I have also been reviewed in Billboard magazine and my music has been played on television stations and radio stations worldwide (one of my songs, "Another Heartache" is currently on heavy rotation on SkyTV which is New Zealand's cable provider. Several of my songs have also been on major retailer instore playlists like Tommy Hilfiger, Adidas, American Airlines and Abercrombie & Fitch. Here is the page from Wikipedia where my record label is described:

 * A simple piece of advice... create your article here and work it up until it's undeniably showing notability. Only then move it into the main encyclopedia. That'll prevent a jumpy editor flagging it for speedy deletion. --Dweller 07:45, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
