Disambiguation pages
Please note that disambiguation pages like Freestyle are meant to help readers find a specific existing article quickly and easily. For that reason, they have guidelines that are different from articles. From the Disambiguation dos and don'ts you should:


 * Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
 * Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
 * Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry that mentions the title being disambiguated
 * Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
 * Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
 * Do not insert external links or references - Wikipedia is not a business directory

 * Hello my name is Byron Smith I'm a founding member of Freestyle (American band) which has been in existence since the early eighties. My sole purpose for creating this band page is to clarify and distinguish my band from the other bands using the name Freestyle. Of all the other bands my band FREESTYLE (American band) has the most popular songs in todays pop culture with over 295,000,000 million view on Tik Tok and collectively 30,000,000 million view on YouTube not to mention other social media and music streaming platforms. Due to the use of the name Freestyle which encumbers a lot from band's brand's music fashion and more. It's often difficult for new fans or followers of our music to find us, Henceforth the reason for creating a Freestyle ( American band) Wikipedia page. I spent an hour last night editing and providing true and vital information about my band only to come back today and discover everything I submitted has been deleted. I'm a novice to Wikipedia and it's writing format so maybe that's the reason my information was deleted. It would great if you could help me create or give your knowledgeable insight on the proper form blue link red link to publish my page. Lastly it clearly says don't use external links Wikipedia is not a business directory. However, whomever edited my Freestyle ( American band) page added a link driving traffic to there page which is a record label piggy backing on the success of my band FREESTYLE. Sorry I didn't mean to write you a book but I need some clarity on this matter.I look forward to chatting with you. Thanks for your time.

 * Byron, I understand your frustration in trying to create a Wikipedia page about your band, however, there are a couple of problems. First, you have a conflict of interest. Please read Plain and simple conflict of interest guide; it has excellent advice on how to proceed. Second, you need to find some reliable sources. The page Reliable sources lays out which sources are considered reliable and why.


 * Wikipedia's definition of notability requires that a topic have multiple reliable sources - a discog page would probably not fall into that category since it is user-based (like Wikipedia!). However, links such as Discog can go into the External Links section of an article. The page that you edited, Freestyle, is not an article. It is a disambiguation page and has different rules. Basically it is a navigation page to direct readers to existing content on Wikipedia.


 * Your best way forward is probably to gather sources, write a draft, and request someone to review it, as described in the 'Plain and simple' link above. Most important - be up front about your association with the band, as you were above. Good luck, Leschnei (talk)

Speedy deletion nomination of Freestyle (American band)
Hello Music305,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Freestyle (American band) for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the album, song or discography is significant enough to be included in an encyclopedia, and the artist doesn't have an article of their own.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

 * Hello again. Question would any of these links be sufficient articles? In fact the UK band Freestylers acknowledge on their Wikipedia page that they got their name from my band Freestyle because they sampled our song Don't Stop the Rock..
 * https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freestylers
 * Don't Stop the Rock created by Freestyle | Trending songs on TikTok ... https://ads.tiktok.com/business/creativecenter/song/Don-t-Stop-the-Rock-6707682170028165121/pc/en?countryCode=US&period=7
 * The link below provides proof of the significance of my bands Revelence in pop culture with over 290 million views on TikTok
 * dont stop the rock｜TikTok Search https://www.tiktok.com/discover/dont-stop-the-rock
 * I hope this is enough evidence to meet requirements to publish Freestyle ( American band) page here on Wikipedia.
