Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted (if it hasn't already).

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

How exactly do I create an article which claims significance?
 * Well.. you should probably read our policy on notability, which describes how various subjects are notable. There are links there to specific notability policies (e.g. for music and for athletes) which should help you out. Please also remember to sign your posts on talkpages by typing four tildes ( ~ ) at the end of your message; this will automatically insert your signature. Cheers. // roux   04:22, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Wiki says that my page may be deleted under criterion A7. The page specifically states that the article for speedy deletion is different from notability. My question is, if notability is different, why is my page going to be deleted? Footballman9 (talk) 04:28, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * You should read the section just above, which explains everything pretty clearly. It's being deleted because your band is just not notable, sorry. There's nothing in the article that indicates you guys have released an album on a recognised label, had coverage in mainstream news sources, or been on a serious tour. Any of those things would help establish notability--you should look here for more specifics. // roux   04:32, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

I understand that the band is not notable. I suspected as much. However, the page specifically says, "The criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source." Whether or not the band is actually notable, how would I go about making a "credible claim of significance"? Footballman9 (talk) 04:38, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Errrmmm... one that's believable, really. "The band has released an album on Interscope that hit #23 on the Billboard Pop charts," or something. But as far as I can tell there aren't any credible claims for this article. That being said, I hope you guys are successful and are able to make those claims one day. // roux   04:42, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of File:WideLoad.jpg
A tag has been placed on File:WideLoad.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

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), 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.
