Proposed deletion of Bill Lloyd - Musician


The article Bill Lloyd - Musician has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners or ask at Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Wuh Wuz  Dat  18:42, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Bill Lloyd - Musician


A tag has been placed on Bill Lloyd - Musician, 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 an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

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. Wuh Wuz  Dat  18:43, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

 * I'm afraid that we were not able to retain Bill Lloyd - Musician; you were advised above of some of the concerns with the material, which might have been addressed, but the content was copied from . Unless permission is provided, we cannot use this content as the base of an article. Even if it is, we often should not, as concerns above noted. Content placed on the subject's own website is naturally going to be engineered to self-promotion. Articles on Wikipedia should be neutral overviews of what other sources have to say about reliable subjects. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 18:50, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Bill Lloyd - Musician


A tag has been placed on Bill Lloyd - Musician requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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.

Article (or not) about Bill Lloyd
There are two issues with your attempts to create an article about Bill Lloyd (of Foster & Lloyd).

The first is that Lloyd may not be a notable musician. Members of ensembles do not necessarily warrant their own articles—that's why Bill Lloyd (country musician) redirects to Foster & Lloyd. To justify having his own article, you need to be able to show that he has a significant career outside of that group, either working solo or as a member of other groups. Articles that do not make any assertion of significance or importance are subject to speedy deletion.

The graver concern is that the article you tried to create used text that was copied wholesale from the billlloydmusic.com website—text that is under an all-rights-reserved license. Text that is all-rights-reserved may not be used on Wikipedia', as it would infringe upon the creator's copyrights.

Thus, the only way Lloyd can have an article is if you can assert that he's notable away from Foster & Lloyd and if you write original text—anything you contribute to Wikipedia that is your own work is placed under the Creative Commons and GFDL licenses; these qualify as free licenses (no restrictions on re-use or derivative use of the material, other than requiring attribution).

I encourage you to reply here, and I (or other editors) can guide you through the next steps, such as what you need to assert for Lloyd to be notable on his own and what sorts of reliable sources you should locate to back the claim up. —C.Fred (talk) 21:11, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
