User talk:Ns2385

Welcome!

Hello, Ns2385, 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 SHERIF, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, 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 helpme 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 Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Qwyrxian (talk) 01:35, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of SHERIF


A tag has been placed on SHERIF 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.

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; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Qwyrxian (talk) 01:35, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Actually, I changed the deletion reason--everything on that page was an exact copy of the artist's official home page. That page explicitly states that the info is copyrighted. You cannot copy copyrighted material onto Wikipedia under any circumstances.

So, if, in the future, you want to try remaking an article about DJ Sherif, you have to do 2 things: 1) re-write everything in your own words, and 2) Show how DJ Sherif meets the criteria in WP:MUSIC--that is, not every band/musician can have a Wikipedia page; only those people with demonstrated notability (which usually comes in the form of them having been written about in detail by reliable, independent sources, but can come from other things like have albums that reach the top 100 of a major national record chart) can have a WP page. Feel free to ask me on my talk page if you have any questions. In the mean time, I'm going to add a welcome message below that has some good links for you to read that will tell you about how to go about writing your first article.
