Speedy deletion nomination of Jamiel Said


A tag has been placed on Jamiel Said 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 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. Toddst1 (talk) 17:02, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because i am writing on behalf of Jamiel Said who is an independant artiste. Please advice on how to go about in creating a wiki page for himself instead of just deleting it. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Melodycentral (talk • contribs)
 * Hi Melody, in reading the article it looks like you have started by using a boiler-plate template and are in the process of editing the article in this way. If I could recommend, I would suggest to create this as a draft first (see WP:DRAFT) and work on the page, then submit it to be created. This can help you get all of the sources and information you need to verify how he meets Wikipedia's guidelines for notability. RickinBaltimore (talk) 17:15, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
