Welcome!

Hello, MerichaRochelle, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Mericha, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

Proposed deletion of Mericha


The article Mericha has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners or ask at 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 ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Bluefist  talk 04:12, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

January 2011
You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, instead of writing it yourself, as you did at Mericha. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to No original research, Neutral point of view, and Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. Bluefist  talk 04:13, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Mericha


The article Mericha has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * With the exception of the award nomination, I'm unable to find reliable, secondary sources which discuss the singer, which precludes notability under WP:GNG or WP:MUSICBIO #1. The award does not seem sufficiently notable that a nomination (as opposed to a win) would qualify the singer for WP:MUSICBIO #8, but that's certainly open to question--we don't (that I've found) have an article on the award.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. j &#9883; e deckertalk to me 19:49, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
