Your contributed article, SafeandSound Mastering


Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, SafeandSound Mastering. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Studio. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Studio - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so 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 page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. TreacherousWays (talk) 19:34, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Safe and Sound
Hi. I tagged the article you created for deletion, mostly because it sounded like an advert for your studio. But I honestly hope that you take the time to read the article on mastering studios. Your user page indicates that you live and breathe music, and the article you created mentions that " ... Direct to stereo recording techniques are something of a lost art in the current music industry ...". If this topic really interests you, then you ought to consider editing that article to include reliably-sourced information that might otherwise go unmentioned. As an expert on the subject, that would be a great way to make sure that the knowledge doesn't get lost, and it give you an opportunity to interact with others in the community.

 * What a page that is not even spelt correctly? hardly a quality entry. Please tag this for speedy deletion too then - Medway Thanks.
 * That's a fair observation. I looked at that page you noted. The key difference is that the editor on that page established tenuous notability by referring to the UK singles chart entry. That is enough to open a discussion about whether the article ought to be deleted or whether the guy's notable enough to remain listed. Your article read like a golden pages advert, is all. Why not follow his lead? Look over other pages and find out what makes them pass the notability test? You probably have something in your past - a proper newspaper article, or a coworker - that might establish notability. TreacherousWays (talk) 20:06, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh - the spelling error (now corrected) was mine, not the article's. I was trying to get all clever with the wikilink and messed up the spelling. TreacherousWays (talk) 11:58, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
