help me Why was my page deleted? I am an artist that is releasing an album within the next month and the information that was put onto wikipedia can be confirmed on my website http://daviddanielhk.com. I want to know how to set up a proper artist page?
 * Hi David. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and so it properly only contains articles that can be synthesized from already published, independent, reliable sources which both can be used to verify the information content, and show notability of the topic. Wikipedia should never be used to announce new things not already published about in the reliable, independent, secondary sources I've mentioned. The simple fact is that the vast majority of people are not encyclopedically notable, as we use that word here. Regarding the deleted article, the text you posted did not indicate you meet our inclusion criteria. Moreover, it was a first person narrative about yourself, and thus wholly unsuitable as an encyclopedia article. It could also have been seen as self-promotion under our standards. However, I would like to apologize for the manner of deletion employed here. This was blatantly improper and should not have happened. Specifically, nothing about your submission was clear "vandalism", and yet that was the basis stated for the article's deletion. Please understand that I am not saying it should not have been deleted. It's just that it should not have been deleted on the basis that it was.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 08:10, 6 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi David, Fuhghettaboutit drew my attention to the fact that the article was deleted as vandalism. Another editor tagged the article for deletion as such, but it is entirely my fault that I didn't check the text carefully enough. Although the article did not meet our criteria, as explained above, it was clearly not vandalism, and I should have changed the deletion reason to something more appropriate. My apologies,  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  08:57, 6 July 2012 (UTC)


 * I thank you both Fuhghettaboutit Jimfbleakfor the information that has been given. I would like however, at some point, be added as an artist but I guess a lot of independent artists don't get acknowledged by wikipedia. I suppose I'll try and write something biographical in nature after I have released my album and done some touring.
