Speedy deletion of The Giving Tree Band
A tag has been placed on The Giving Tree Band 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. It's me...Sallicio!$\color{Red} \oplus$ 23:02, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Lets drink  Tea  22:12, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Confusing
Hi, you put a CSD tag on an article in your userspace and then added a hangon which is contradictory. If you want it deleted as per CSD G7 please leave a message here and I will sort it out for you. Regards Khu  kri  10:57, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

i would appreciate your help. also, dont i have enough references by now to make the entry notable and therefore no longer valid for speedy deletion. this only the second page i have created, so i dont know the all ropes yet. thanks for the help. joshuafitzgerald

OK looks like (I don't know how) you created it in userspace and again in article space. The article space one was deleted, as a non notable band, that's not saying the band isn't notable, just that you hadn't asserted it's notability or reason why it should have an encyclopedic entry. Also the manner it is presented is more like a myspace page than and encyclopedic entry. Have a look at other bands and see how their articles are done. If you wish I will leave this article User talk:Joshfitzgerald/The Andreas Kapsalis Trio here so you can work on it, try to get it to meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines etc and then maybe look to putting it back in article space later on. Let me know. Khu kri  12:16, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

what about all the code i lost?

The article looked like the band might meet notability criteria, I'm not sure... but it was just too damn promotional in tone. Write something neutral. Don't write about how great they are; write about what they do.

Imagine that you hate the band, but that you're being painfully honest and forcing yourself to admit that they have accomplishments. DS (talk) 14:44, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

The Andreas Kapsalis Trio via ivanvector
Hi there! Looks like you figured out how to move the page back to mainspace from my user space, or got an admin to help, I'm not really sure what the rules are for that sort of thing. I did some work on the neutral point of view issue and took out some of the bits that seemed overly promotional, and I think it was ready to be pushed back to mainspace anyway but I was slow getting around to it. Happy editing! Ivanvector (talk) 04:31, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Concert photo by Kevin Malella.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Concert photo by Kevin Malella.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE:


 * I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
 * I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
 * If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
 * To opt out of these bot messages, add  to your talk page.
 * If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.

Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 05:53, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
