Proposed deletion of Devine band


The article Devine band has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Band seems to fall short of the requirements of WP:MUSIC

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Dennis Brown (talk) 02:01, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Nomination of Devine band for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Devine band is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Devine band until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Dennis Brown (talk) 02:24, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Notice
Do not remove AFD tags. You are welcome to go to the discussion regarding the deletion but the tag must stay up for 7 days while the discussion takes place. Removing AFD tags can result in getting blocked from editing. If you will go to the discussion, you can learn a little more there and present why you feel the deletion would be a mistake. Very likely, you will not be warned again about removing AFD deletion tags, so please take this warning seriously. Dennis Brown (talk) 02:32, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
 * That is twice I have had to put the tag back on the article. Please take the warning seriously, as continuing to remove it will result in action, including you being blocked, which will prevent you from participating in the deletion discussion.  Dennis Brown (talk) 02:35, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to remove Articles for deletion notices or comments from articles and Articles for deletion pages, you may be blocked from editing. 99.149.87.151 (talk) 02:43, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

advice
Perhaps I can give you some advice on how to work effectively here. Wikipedia has its own idiosyncratic rules of how to decide if there should be an article, as listed at WP:N and its subpages, and as interpreted by the general community for individual cases. When a suggested deletion is reasonably challenged, or if the deletion is not obvious, this is done by a discussion at WP:AFD, where everyone who cares, including the created, can explain their position. After a week, one of us administrators decides what the community wishes to do, on the basis of the reasons presented; we have to decide these things somehow, and that's how we do it. If an article of your is challenged, the thing to do is to explain why it is notable according to our practices -- it doesn't work to try to explain why it ought to be notable, or why it is on some intuitive basis important, or take what  might be seen as an excessive argumentative tone. The notability needs to be shown by references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases. If your band has such references, the article will be kept; if it does not yet have them, it will not be kept. It's reasonable that you will be disappointed if the article isn't kept, but, at whatever future date it does become notable according to this way of looking at things, then an articles with the references can be written, and it is not meant personally. In the meantime, perhaps you'll contribute about other things in which you are interested. Think about it, take a break, and come back tomorrow and either  find and add references, or simply withdraw the article by saying so at the AfD.  DGG ( talk ) 03:02, 17 April 2011 (UTC) (It usually takes more than one local newspaper reference--consider the virtue of not having a history of being uncooperative, for when it does become notable )  DGG ( talk ) 03:11, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

This is your last warning; the next time you harm Wikipedia, as you did at Talk:Devine band with this edit, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. NellieBly (talk) 03:05, 17 April 2011 (UTC)


 * I just want to point out that I have the authority to enfore my advice by actually blocking you--I am trying not to do it, to give you a chance to act more cooperatively yourself, but if necessary, I certainly shall do it.    DGG ( talk ) 03:11, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

Please understand that we don't want to delete your articles - there are so many other things to do here - we want you to write them better. Meanwhile this was way out of line. Materialscientist (talk) 03:26, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
