Speedy deletion of October Sky Band

This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance 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 musical topics.

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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 21:40, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:

Speedy Deletion
Hi Admins,

I created this page because my band October Sky is getting more and more exposure all over the world. I think it deserve it place. In 2008, bands aren't signed with MAJOR labels anymore. 85% of new upcoming bands are Unsigned or independant like we are. Nationally distributed, hitting National air play all over Canada is what we are doing now. Investing more than 100 000$ in this project does mean something.

Please do not delete this page, October Sky has the right to have a page on wikipedia. Please contact me at band@octobersky.ca

PLEASE DON'T DELETE ME
Please everyone, do not delete me, I'm just someone who is trying to create a page for his band.

CONTACT ME at band@octobersky.ca and let me know what is going on. I'm not spamming, if you do some research you will find out. My name is Yanik Rouleau, keyboard player of October Sky, my personal e-mail address is yanik.rouleau@octobersky.ca.

I don't understand why I'm being deleted. I just haven't DONE my page yet. Give me some time before BLOCKING me from updating the page.
 * Read the notice above. You've been blocked because your username is promotional. In this case, you're promoting your band. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 22:40, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

What do I need to do so I can have a page of my band on Wikipedia?
