Speedy deletion nomination of Yardlets


A tag has been placed on Yardlets 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 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 "Click here to 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

No
You said, "This page is necessary in building a campaign to promote a spring 2015 release of this bands album, therefor information here is useful and will be updated through out the next coming months". No. It might be thought necessary for your campaign, but it is right against Wikipedia's policy WP:SPAM on advertising and promotion. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, and it is not social media like Facebook where you can post almost whatever you want.

This was in no means to be a promotional tool for the artist, only a means of navigation on information pertaning to the project.

 * If the band can be shown to pass WP:BAND with proof in reliable independent sources WP:RS, then an article could be on the cards. If you just want people to know about the band, there's always Facebook, last.fm, reverbnation etc. Wikipedia isn't free web space - it's an encyclopaedia. Most bands don't get articles. I've been in a band playing live to a 10,000 crowd - but that band hasn't got an article. You said, "This page is necessary in building a campaign to promote a spring 2015 release" - how is that NOT an admission of using Wikipedia for promotion? Build your campaign - good luck in a hard business - but don't expect Wikipedia to be part of building it up. When notability under our policies is achieved, that's time for an article, and not before. Peridon (talk) 22:31, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Nataskaupus (talk) 23:24, 6 February 2015 (UTC) I have just begun working with this grou, i was more clear in my second reply that this was in no means to be a promotional tool for the artist, only a means of navigation on information pertaning to the project, that was my initial intent. The band members in question have had notable achievements within the music community in the past. I was intending on uploading reference material at a later point which i probably should have done before i published (new here). Would this be a better way to going about publishing the page in the future? Thank you for your time. Nataskaupus (talk) 23:24, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Don't sign at the start of a post, just at the end. At the start is for putting the name of someone you're wanting to contact. Anyway, if you want to try again, put it at User:Nataskaupus/DRAFT (click and save) to start with. It's safer there, as the patrollers can only tag in user space for spam, hoax, copyright violation, and hoax. Get your refs together first - remembering that notability can't be shown in own sites, Facebook etc, reverbnation or last.fm, forums, blogs, wikis, press releases, or anything that can be edited or which is supplied by the subject or their agents. If you get the refs first, you'll know what you can write about. Once you've got refs, ask for advice about them. It's a waste of time writing with no references. See how you get on. See what you can find. When ready for advice or opinion (or if you can't find anything), leave a note at the bottom of my talk page (with a heading inside two pairs of = signs). Protocol here is new thread at the bottom. Peridon (talk) 23:46, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
