Speedy deletion nomination of Pizza Service


A tag has been placed on Pizza Service 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 credibly 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 "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. Wisdom89 ♦talk 19:05, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

Your article
You said, "The band are about to release an EP and having a Wikipedia page is a good way of generating traffic and connecting with fans, this is something we want to do and it causes no harm to Wikipedia. In the past the band have donated money to keep Wikipedia funded.". I'm afraid that that means you were using Wikipedia for advertising and promotion. That is not allowed - please see WP:SPAM. You can generate traffic by other means. The harm it would have done to Wikipedia would have been reducing Wikipedia's status as an encyclopaedia by incorporating an article about a non-notable subject. One article would lead to many, and Wikipedia would end up like Facebook. Donating money is laudable, but you might be surprised how many people make that claim when their article has been deleted. Donation does not equal buying space. As to notability, please read WP:BAND, and also WP:RS about the reliable independent sources that are required to prove the notability. Otherwise, good luck. The music business is a hard one, and you need luck (even in K-pop where real talent seems to be largely a disadvantage and toeing the company line far more important...).
