User talk:Duranamo

Please do not write an article about yourself, as you apparently did at Duranamo. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Duranamo


A tag has been placed on Duranamo requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, 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. 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.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. AllyD (talk) 08:02, 5 May 2012 (UTC)


 * I saw your note on the articles talk page, and wanted to explain a little more clearly why I deleted it. While I believe that you are, in fact, an actual music producer, simply being a producer is not sufficient grounds to have a Wikipedia article about you. All subjects of Wikipedia articles must be notable, which generally means that they have been discussed in detail in multiple, independent, reliable sources. For musicians, that can also be shown by the criteria found at WP:MUSIC. Nothing on that page indicated that you met those criteria, and, as such, the article had to be deleted. In any event, your note shows that you misunderstand Wikipedia's purpose: we aren't an "outlet" for anyone; rather, we are an encyclopedia about notable topics. Please do not attempt to use Wikipedia to promote yourself or others you are associated with. In the future, if you become notable, someone else will surely start an article on you, but you should generally not create an article about yourself. If you have questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page at any time. Qwyrxian (talk) 08:22, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
