Speedy deletion nomination of The Defeatists


A tag has been placed on The Defeatists 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:FabianRW


A tag has been placed on User:FabianRW, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (I created this page a few minutes ago, please give me a chance to edit it fully as I am new to using wikipedia for editing) --FabianRW (talk) 23:51, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (I am merely stating who I am and what I do which may be helpful to those that know my work as an artist, any links to websites are purely for interested parties and not intended as advertisement. Essentially I am an artist and not a salesman.) --FabianRW (talk) 23:55, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (Please bear in mind I am an artist and this page's subject is me. So let me quote from the wikipedia contest page to ratify: 'However, the mere fact that a company, organization, or product is an article's subject does not, on its own, qualify that article for deletion under this criterion...') --FabianRW (talk) 23:59, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Please inform me if I have done anything wrong here, I am an artist and I want people who are interested to know the information I have provided about myself aswell as helping to prove that I am indeed the creator of a wikipeadia page relating to my own art-work, whatever the form. Is this wrong? Am I breaking the wikipedia rules and promoting myself? If so how can I avoid this but retain my page/pages? I mean there are loads of artists/bands on wikipedia, I just thought I should provide context.
 * In short, yes, that's wrong. You're using Wikipedia for self-promotion. A Wikipedia article about you should be based on reliable sources that are independent of you, such as articles about you written by newspapers or reputable magazines. Your only source was your own Facebook page. That's not an indication of notability by Wikipedia's standards. Due to the inherent conflict of interest writing an autobiography on Wikipedia is strongly discouraged, and the same goes for other topics you are closely associated with, such as your band or your own artwork.

Okay thankyou, I will remove any links and just use the account as I was meant to - I am completely new to Wikipedia as you can probably tell....
