Welcome!

Hello, Oliver McPhee, 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 The Norkz, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of The Norkz


A tag has been placed on The Norkz 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. Vrenator (talk) 12:32, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Removing Speedy at The Norkz
- SDPatrolBot (talk) 12:38, 13 September 2011 (UTC)


 * I have seen your post at Talk:The Norkz, and I thought it might be helpful to you to clarify a couple of points about how Wikipedia works. You wrote "this page should not be deleted as it is about a small New Zealand band Trying to make it big in New zealand at least give them a chance to tell the world there achievements". Unfortunately, that actually gives two reasons why, by Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, the article should be deleted, not why it shouldn't. (1) Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information about anything, but requires subjects of articles to be notable. A band which is still "trying" to become successful is unlikely to satisfy Wikipedia's [{WP:Notability|notability]] guidelines. You may like to look at Notability (music). (2) Giving organisations "a chance to tell the world there achievements" using Wikipedia for promotion. I wish you every success in getting your band better known, but I'm afraid that Wikipedia is not the place to do it. JamesBWatson (talk) 12:53, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as The Norkz, to Wikipedia, as doing so is not in accordance with our policies. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article; you might also consider using the Article Wizard. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. JamesBWatson (talk) 08:21, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
