User talk:Mike Crafone

Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on. Again, welcome! Dac04 (talk) 14:50, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Mike Crafone
A tag has been placed on Mike Crafone 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 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

 * Mr. Crafone: I noted the "hangon" tag you applied to your autobiographic article and the comments you made on its associated talk page. There are many reasons why I have decided to agree with the individual who tagged the article for speedy deletion.  Primary among them is that, by adding a copyright notice at the bottom of the article, you have made it impossible for us to retain the content -- see WP:COPYVIO for details.  However, the material I read also does not meet our notability guidelines, our requirement for reliable sources and our verifiability policy.  It also infringes our conflict of interest policy; essentially, if you're sufficiently notable to be the subject of a Wikipedia article, someone other than yourself will usually be sufficiently motivated to contribute that article, but you're strongly discouraged from doing so.  Your assertions on the talk page fall under the category of the Wikipedia policy found at WP:NEXTBIGTHING; Wikipedia articles are not about people who are going to become notable, they are about people who already are notable, and your assertions about your contribution to music have to be backed up by considerably more than your own assertions.  You may want to look at WP:Your first article and WP:Why was my article deleted? for more background information about the policies I've mentioned, or by following any link in this article.  Best of luck with your future contributions.  Accounting4Taste: talk 17:53, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
