Speedy deletion nomination of [[:
The Rumour==]]==

A tag has been placed on ==The Rumour== requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, 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. Under 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 that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. GregJackP  Boomer!   20:07, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Conflict of interest
Hello, Jacques Koolen. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article The Rumour (New Zealand band), you may need to consider our guidance on conflicts of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. --Drm310 (talk) 17:45, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

The Rumour (New Zealand band)
I have removed the image from the article and tagged for deletion from Commons as a copyright violation. The copyright is almost certainly owned by the relevant record label, not by you.--ukexpat (talk) 16:17, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I have removed two more copyvio images. You may have been a member of the band but you almost certainly do not own the copyright to promotional images and album covers, they will be owned by the record labels. I have told you how to go about getting consent (WP:CONSENT) to use copyright images, yet you still continue to upload them and add them to articles. PLEASE STOP! Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and if you continue to upload and use copyvio images, you may be blocked from editing. Thanks.--ukexpat (talk) 15:07, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
