Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello there,, and welcome to the Internet's largest free encyclopedia! We appreciate your contributions and hope you decide to stay. Please check out the welcome page for help on how to get started.

I also have to regretfully inform you that we unfortunately cannot accept your article titled "Lowercased," because it is a biography on a musical band, musician, or singer that is not notable enough to merit an article here on Wikipedia. Sorry! If you have any questions about this or anything else, feel free to ask me. But please, if you do, talk to me kindly; I'd really appreciate it.

Happy Editing! --  P.B. Pilhet  /  Talk   23:41, 21 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Reply Hi again, and thanks for your polite question. I can see what you mean by it seeming to be a win-win situation.  But there's two main reasons why Wikipedia has a policy against the inclusion of non-notable material (not just bands, but everything not notable): 1) The more articles the encyclopedia has, the more server space is required to hold and manage them; and the more server space, the higher the cost of the whole website (and, by the way, we're supported solely by donations).  2) This site was never created with the intention of being a free way to advertise; it was created to be a free but pure encyclopedia, and no paper encyclopedia would ever include non-notable material.  I hope this helps to clear things up, but if it doesn't, feel free to ask another question!  Again, thanks for being polite!

 * P.S. -- I see by the deletion log for Lowercased that you recreated the article after it was deleted; please refrain from doing so again, as it will get you into trouble :-) 04:11, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
