Speedy deletion of "Carl scogland"
A page you created, Carl scogland, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how they are important or significant, and thus why they should be included in an encyclopedia. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and the guidelines for biographies in particular.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Speedy deletion nomination of Carl Scogland


A tag has been placed on Carl Scogland 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 person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) 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. 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. Rorshacma (talk) 18:13, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

Why the article you wrote was deleted
The sources that you had included with the article did not show notability; they only showed that Carl Scogland exists, which is not enough. The Amazon and iTunes links just show that he has published music, but they don't demonstrate that he or his music is actually significant. The newsletter you included doesn't support his significance, either. You should first read our guideline on Reliable Sources, to get an idea of what kind of backup material we would need in order to consider Mr. Scogland notable enough to include on Wikipedia.--Aervanath (talk) 15:55, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
 * You should also read WP:Notability and WP:Notability (music) before you try the article again. Your first article would also help you a lot. If you can get the sources together to create the article, write it at User:Jimharmon/Carl Scogland first, and then ask someone to review it before you move it back to Carl Scogland.
