I just deleted the page you made about yourself, D. Geoffrey Bell. This page had existed before, and there was a deletion discussion: Articles for deletion/D. Geoffrey Bell. It sounds like the consensus was that this person doesn't meet the guidelines for musicians at WP:MUSIC. Friday (talk) 20:55, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Now that I look at this more, I'm not sure this should have been deleted at all. I think what counted against you was that you were making a page about yourself, which is generally considered a bad thing.  Also, google results are not very encouraging.  Are there reputable third-party sources talking about your work, or the awards you've won?  Proper sources would go far in helping this article.  Friday (talk) 21:02, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
