Speedy deletion nomination of Dirty Water Brass Band
Hello Givitumee,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Dirty Water Brass Band for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Ormr2014 (talk) 19:52, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Dirty Water Brass Band


A tag has been placed on Dirty Water Brass Band, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It 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. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of 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 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.

Since you hold yourself out as the creator of the band's logo (see File:DWBB logo 2015.jpg), that shows me you have a connection of some nature, either professional or membership, with the band. —C.Fred (talk) 18:57, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

This must be frustrating...
Hello Givitumee, I'm sorry your initial Wikipedia efforts have not worked out as you intended. Our fellow editors have done the correct thing regarding your conflict of interest, but I want to let you know that you are welcome here. I have looked at the page you created, and you have skills which we need here, namely to write decent prose and the ability to create a good layout. Yes, we have a lot of policies and guidelines, and they frankly take a long time to learn, but I don't want you to think we are utterly impossible. perhaps merely very difficult. Some of the most important things to know about editing here are in the welcome message I am going to be sending. I imagine you know more than average about music in general, and I hope you are willing to share some of that knowledge and ability, just in areas to which you are not directly tied. All the best,  78.26   (spin me / revolutions) 19:48, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
