The article Mathis records has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki 03:04, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Mathis Records.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Mathis Records.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

A tag has been placed on Mathis records, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Realkyhick 03:22, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

WARNING!!!
Do not attempt to use semi-protection templates in an effort to subvert speedy-deletion processes. Doing so is a violation of Wikipedia policies and will result in your being indefinitely and/or permanently blocked.

Please stop. If you continue to ignore our policies by introducing inappropriate pages to Wikipedia, you will be blocked. Realkyhick 03:23, 31 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a place to promote non-notable businesses. Your label does not have any acts which have charted on a well-known chart or received airplay on well-known stations or satellite services. It is highly likely that more people know about those esoteric types of cheese than your record label. See WP:MUSIC for guidelines on why this label is not notable. Also be advised that the fact that other articles exist which you deem less than notable is not an argument to prevent deletion of this article.

I don't know where you got the idea that semi-protection was used for new articles about record labels. Nothing could possibly further from the truth. The template is never used unless you are administrator under any circumstances, and only they may use it to stop vandalism of an existing article. Realkyhick 03:33, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
