Proposed deletion of Dan Costa (musician)


The article Dan Costa (musician) has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has 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 seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Wgolf (talk) 23:08, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for message. I deleted your article because
 * it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, or they will be deleted. The only reference seems to be to his own project, obviously not independent third-party source. I can't actually see a claim for notability. Performing with notable people doesn't make him notable, and his supposed performances and stardom are too vague to be meaningful co-directed musicals, performed with orchestras and big bands, and starred as both a pianist and composer... He has performed for several festivals with different ensembles.... Nothing named.
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: His strong interest in his Latin roots coupled with his passion for jazz... graduated with distinction... receiving an award for outstanding achievement... He has co-directed musicals, performed with orchestras and big bands, and starred as both a pianist and composer in projects... He has performed for several festivals with different ensembles, and is the leader of his own project
 * Your user name suggests that you may have a conflict of interest when it comes to editing articles about this subject. Thank you for declaring your interest. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that you are notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Requested articles for the article to be created. See also Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest, and WP:Autobiography.

 * Hi, You can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~ The point of speedy deletion is that the case for deletion is so obvious there is no point in discussing. I can show hundreds of pages of wikipedia with no referencing and with a list of awards for different musicians... Why haven't these articles been deleted? Not relevant. Either they meet our criteria, or they should be deleted too. When people list specific ither articles, I check them and delete those that should have been deleted Jimfbleak - talk to me?  13:39, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Dan Costa (musician)


A tag has been placed on Dan Costa (musician), requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of 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 this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Help me!
Hello,

I created an article a few days ago and it was deleted due to insufficient references. Fair enough. I then rewrote the whole article with 5 external, reliable references and then I found out that a "speedy deletion" had taken place, apparently because now there was no sufficient evidence that the person or thing is important. This is ludicrous. Marconi invented the telephone and who actually became "famous" - if this is all you care about - is Mr. Bell who was smart enough to declare his invention before his counterpart.

Could someone please explain to me what is happening? What is so inappropriate about the article? I am confused with the attitude of wikipedians who randomly delete articles even when the author is showing willingness to make changes which would meet Wikipedia's criteria.

Please let me know. Many thanks Daniel7474 (talk) 16:33, 4 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi, thanks for message. You can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~ . Note that for anyone to read your message above you need to include a  template to attract attention. The last deletion was by User:Mackensen, and you should address  your request for a copy of the text to  his talk page. Ask for clarification since there is no point getting the deleted text unless you know how to fix it (if it is fixable&mdash; notability may be hard to prove). Looking at your refs, they seem to be either affiliated to you or of low quality, not reputable third-party sources. Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  05:59, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

Hello,

Thanks for your reply? Can you please help me to get in touch with this person? Nowhere can I find a Way to contact him. Also, how do I Retrieve my text? Daniel7474 (talk) 18:54, 5 July 2015 (UTC)</

In reply to your comment about refs, the only red related to myself is my website, as nobody else would know about personal details such as schooling. All the other sites, such as casa da Musica, Blitz, even the one related to the Eurovision Song Contest, are more than reputable and you can check the artists presence in these few examples.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising, as you did at Dan Costa (musician). ''Your article has been deleted four times, including after a deletion discussion. If you don't stop, I will block you.'' Jimfbleak - talk to me?  15:41, 16 July 2016 (UTC)

I believe you are being extremely rude and inappropriate. If you check the website in other languages you'll see that the page was created by third parties and accepted without all this anglo-american "fuss". All the best
