A tag has been placed on Paint the artist, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add  on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Please see Wikipedia's notability guidelines for bands at WP:MUSIC. Thanks. Iknowyourider (t c) 00:53, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles that you have created yourself. If you do not believe the article should be deleted, then please place  on the page (please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag) and make your case on the article's. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. Iknowyourider (t c) 00:56, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from articles you have created yourself. Please use the template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion. Thank you. Iknowyourider (t c) 00:58, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Some advice

 * 1) Use the preview button.  There's no need to create a half-finished page; it'll only draw attention to something that is -- as you said -- unfinished.
 * 2) You should review Wikipedia's notability criteria for bands.  If you can't meet those criteria, your article is not suitable for inclusion -- sorry, those are the rules.

Thanks for your contribution! Iknowyourider (t c) 01:06, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to ignore our policies by introducing inappropriate pages, such as Paint the artist, to Wikipedia, you will be blocked. ''Please do not persist in re-creating deleted pages. Also, you seem to still have not read WP:MUSIC.'' Iknowyourider (t c) 01:53, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

How is this not a proper page? They have been covered by the media and people know about them. That is a criteria for a band. What's wrong?


 * Please read Notability and Notability (music). Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 01:58, 21 June 2007 (UTC)


 * The media they were covered by was local media only. The notability criteria call for multiple sources. Additionally, nothing in the article is asserted to meet the criteria at WP:MUSIC. —C.Fred (talk) 02:01, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you create an inappropriate page, such as Paint the artist, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Iknowyourider (t c) 02:08, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

I honestly don't undertand what the problem is with it. I listed media, which they were covered by, sorry they were only covered by one media relations but still that's one. They will be covered in a documentary soon, and yet you keep freaking out because of it. There is plenty of info on here, and it's not some random stuff. It's all true as they are recording their album right now, and have been for a month. Stop freaking out for nothing. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lkrfn88 (talk • contribs) 02:17, 21 Jun 2007 (UTC)


 * It doesn't matter if it's true or not; it matters if it's verifiable and notable. The guidelines are quite clear and they apply to everyone.  Significant media coverage is required for a band to have an entry in Wikipedia.  Wikipedia is not MySpace.  Regards, Iknowyourider (t c) 02:20, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

How is it not verifiable? Go to their myspace page. And yes it's not myspace, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be listen on here. Plenty of people have asked why they aren't on this website before, and this will get them more support. And it is notable. They recorded a song and it's online. I'm pretty sure that's notable, as not many bands full of normal high school students can put a song online.


 * Myspace is self-published and does not qualify as a reliable source. —C.Fred (talk) 02:37, 21 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia's definition of notability for a musical group is a very specific one, and it sounds like, at this time, you do not meet it. Sorry.  (Please read that link carefully, as your argument seems to imply you haven't.) Iknowyourider (t c) 02:42, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
