Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Walthamstow has been reverted. Your edit here to Walthamstow was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Stow-Caledonian-Pipe-Band/126454624089050) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 15:28, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of The Stow Caledonian Pipe Band


A tag has been placed on The Stow Caledonian Pipe Band 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 importance 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. CanadianLinuxUser (talk) 15:29, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

I suggest following the link above to the notability policy, to see the sort of thing which is required for a topic to qualify as the subject of a Wikipedia article. You should also be aware that writing an article about a group you belong to is strongly discouraged. The conflict of interest involved makes it difficult to write objectively. Finally, Wikipedia is not a free advertising service, or a medium for any sort of promotion, but the article The Stow Caledonian Pipe Band was unambiguously designed to promote or publicise the band. (It even had an invitation to join, and instructions how to contact the band in order to do so.) JamesBWatson (talk) 14:30, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
