Blynd
Could you please add a few sources to the article, so people can check where you got your information. - Mgm|(talk) 10:57, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I happen to be Rohan, the lead guitarist for Blynd. So the article about Blynd is a first hand information about my band. Am I prohibited from writing something about my endeavours, such as this band Blynd, on Wikipedia? If that is the case, you may erase this article. The only intent of writing this article was to see what impact it has on our band. How should I quote sources for this article if its eligible for posting on Wikipedia?

 * You're not prohibited from writing about your own band, but it's very much frowned upon because people rarely stay neutral when their own endeavors are concerned (see Autobiography). If you wrote this to find out the impact it has on your band, most Wikipedians would classify it as promotional article/advertising which is expressly forbidden by WP:NOT. In order for an article on the band to be eligeble it would have to fit at least one or two criteria at WP:MUSIC which is the main list of criteria for bands. The formatting of sources really doesn't matter much as long as you find reliable third party sources like newspapers or magazines or websites other than your own that discussed your band. If these don't exist, I recommend you move this material to your userspace and continue work on other articles. If you work on Wikipedia, people are going to notice stuff that's up there. Let me know if you have some sources or if I should help with moving it. - Mgm|(talk) 18:52, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Industrial Design Centre
I've added the "prod" template to the article Industrial Design Centre, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Industrial Design Centre. You may remove the deletion notice, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria. — Ambuj Saxena (☎) 09:52, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
