Speedy deletion nomination of Blood Delirium


A tag has been placed on Blood Delirium requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a musical recording which does not indicate why its subject is important or significant, and where the artist's article has never existed, has been deleted or is eligible for deletion itself. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for music.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Nuttah (talk) 18:05, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. A page you recently created, 38DD (Wisconsin Band), may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests, and consider using the Article Wizard. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article. You may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. ''Hi there and welcome to Wikipedia. I'm sorry you're having such a hard time here, but please do as Orange Mike suggested and read WP:MUSIC and WP:NOCAREBAND before you keep trying to recreate this article. Wikipedia has notability policies (WP:N) and your article contains no assertion of notability. This needs to be reliable third party coverage of the band. In general, unsigned bands require a significant amount of press coverage in order to be considered notable on Wikipedia.

Thanks and please let me know if I can answer any questions.'' Zachlipton (talk) 21:54, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

This is your last warning; the next time you create an inappropriate page, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.

Please stop recreating the article about the band 38DD until the band meets the notability guidelines. You have created and it has been deleted eight times. If you recreate the article again, you will be blocked from editing. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 03:46, 6 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Re your message: You need to provide citations from reliable sources that the band meets the notability guideline for musical acts. For example, the band would be notable if they had a charted single or album.  If their single EP has not charted, then they would not be notable through that criteria.  The band may also be notable if they released an album through a major label or large indie label, however, since they are unsigned, they would not qualify under this criteria.  Finally, they may be notable if they have been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself.  If you can provide those references, then you may recreate the article. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 19:40, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Re your message: I don't have access to the talk page because it was deleted and I don't remember specifically what I said. If you remember your question, I can answer it for you here. My answer was most probably something similar to what Gogo Dodo just said to you above: your article didn't provide any citations from reliable sources that this band in any way meets Wikipedia's policies for inclusion of musical acts. If you can demonstrate that they meet the criteria, then the band is notable and the article will remain. If you recreate the article without strong evidence that the band meets our policies, you will be blocked from editing. The article has been deleted eight times already, which really is quite a lot! Feel free to let me know if I can answer any more questions or clarify anything; I'm always happy to help. Best. Zachlipton (talk) 22:15, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Howdy
Hi there and welcome to Wikipedia. I saw your note on User:Diversity8 and wanted to respond, because you're obviously trying to contribute here in good faith and I'm sorry you've hit some rough spots with your new articles. Here are a few bits of advice that might be of help to you: I hope this helps. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions, and again, welcome! Zachlipton (talk) 07:48, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
 * First, creating new articles is one of the harder tasks on Wikipedia, even for experienced editors. Large numbers of new articles that do not conform to the guidelines are deleted every day. Many new editors find it easier to start off contributing to one of our many existing articles before venturing into the world of creating brand new articles.
 * Second, if you do choose to create new articles, you should be familiar with our policies in this area. Your first article is a good guide to the basics. The really quick version is here: Articles require significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Articles that do not meet this guideline will almost certainly be speedily deleted shortly after creation. For articles about bands and musical artists, you should be sure that your article fully complies with the notability guidelines for music and that you cite appropriate sources to demonstrate notability in your article. So a band that is the subject of an interview in Rolling Stone, a segment on VH1, and a review in the Los Angeles Times obviously meets the criteria, while an unsigned band with a self-released album and some concert listings in the local alt-weekly would not. WP:MUSIC provides other criteria for notability and I encourage you to read them.
 * With that in mind, let's take a look at your article 38DD (WI Band). The band is unsigned and the article does not cite any major awards, concert tours, singles or albums that have charted nationally, or had a gold certified album. As such, we look at the sources. There are three: the band's MySpace page, Metal-Archives, and [More Than A Handful http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/38dd]. The MySpace link is not considered a reliable source for this purpose, as it is written by the band itself (not third-party). The "More Than A Handful" page is simply a sales page for the album; this provides no information that demonstrates the notability of the band. Finally, the Metal-Archives page does not appear to be a reliable source, as it consists of user submissions. The band's inclusion on in Metal Archives doesn't assert any notability, because the site is not subject to some kind of editorial control like a newspaper or a magazine or similar source. Thus, the article plainly does not meet the guidelines in WP:MUSIC, and the page is speedily deleted. Just saying "I claim importance/significance" doesn't change anything, because that claim is not backed by sources that actually demonstrate notability.
 * I noticed in your comment that you were having trouble because your new articles were deleted before you had time to fully complete them. I recommend trying the Article Wizard. It helps you create new articles and has a great feature called a "userspace draft." With this, you can initially save your article into your userspace, your special scratch area outside of the main Wikipedia article space, and you can work on it without the risk of immediate speedy deletion. Once you have the article fully sourced and are sure it's ready to go, you can easily move it into the main article namespace. You can also ask other editors to look over a draft article while it's in your userspace and to give you feedback before you submit it (I and many other editors are happy to do this).
 * Finally, keep in mind that there are lots of perfectly great things in the world that don't get their own Wikipedia articles, at least not yet. There are a lot of things that Wikipedia is not, and one of those is a directory. We don't create entries for bands only because you want to promote music from Wisconsin, but rather because those bands meet the WP:MUSIC criteria. There are lots of already existing articles for notable bands that need plenty of improvement, so perhaps you'd be interested in focusing your attention on a few of those for a while?


 * I see that you have written "I am trying to create these pages so other people might come across them and end up liking the bands". However, unfortunately that is a good example of what is not acceptable on Wikipedia: writing an article on a little known band in the hope of making them better known is "promotion" of the band, which is against Wikipedia's policy. JamesBWatson (talk) 12:37, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Fellow proud Wisconsinite: I very strongly recommend that you read and understand this humorous essay about obscure band articles and why they get deleted. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  15:54, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

You need to set up a sandbox for article development
User:Diversity8/Sandbox can be used to create articles and develop them to an extent where they are fit to be published, so you won't experience the frustration of what you believe has been premature deletion. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  20:59, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Another Cult Classic


A tag has been placed on Another Cult Classic requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a musical recording which does not indicate why its subject is important or significant, and where the artist's article has never existed, has been deleted or is eligible for deletion itself. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for music.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Travelbird (talk) 04:52, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Pak.png
 Thanks for uploading File:Pak.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. We hope (talk) 16:20, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Inappropriate article creation
Please do not continue to restore or create new articles regarding Patrick "Pakelika". The article has been deleted via consensus through the AfD process and it should not be recreated until the issues that resulted in its deletion are addressed. You are creating an inordinate amount of articles that do not meet Wikipedia standards for inclusion; I suggest you to take a break from editing in order to read the reams of advice given to you on this page, and to read what constitutes notability with regard to musicians and their works. --Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 21:28, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

 * The band almost meets criterion #5 of WP:BAND, but not quite, so I have deleted the article as the band is not yet notable according to Wikipedia guidelines.
