Speedy deletion nomination of Mike Stroud (musician)


A tag has been placed on Mike Stroud (musician) 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 or group of people, but it does not credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. — UY Scuti Talk  12:16, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Mike Stroud (musician)


The article Mike Stroud (musician) has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Melcous (talk) 23:07, 5 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi and thanks for your message. Yes, providing a source means that the proposed deletion tag can be deleted - I will do that now. I will also add some other maintenance tags to the article. For example, it would now be what wikipedia calls a stub meaning it is very short and needs expanding. Also, I don't know anything about all music.com, but the best sources for articles are things like books, magazines and newspapers, so the goal would be to see if there has been anything published about Stroud in what wikipedia calls reliable sources and add some of them to the article. Don't take the tags on the article as any kind of insult to you personally, they are designed to help us all work together to improve articles, and they may in fact attract other editors to the article who can help out.
