Speedy deletion nomination of Spacey and the astronaut
A tag has been placed on Spacey and the astronaut 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 hangon 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. andy (talk) 10:40, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Diphthong sound club
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Diphthong sound club, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.myspace.com/diphthongmusic.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Diphthong sound club has been reverted. Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.myspace.com/diphthongmusic. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

Your email
Sorry to be slow to reply, but I only check my email about once a day. You will usually get a faster response by leaving a message on a user talk page - just clik "talk" after the user name in a signature, and then "new section" at the top.

The answer to your questions is, Wikipedia is not a place for people to write about themselves, their bands, etc: that's what Myspace and the like are for. Wikipedia aims to be something different - an encyclopedia. That means it is more selective about subjects - they have to be notable, which is not a matter of opinion but needs to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. More detailed standards for bands are explained at WP:BAND. The point is that we don't decide what is interesting or important enough for an article - the test is, have other people, independent of the subject, found it important enough to write about?

Also, even if your bands met the notability standard, you should not be the one to write about them. "Anyone can edit" gets us lots of contributors and lots of expertise, but the downside is that Wikipedia is very vulnerable to being used for advertising and self-promotion, and to avoid that we have strong rules against editing with a conflict of interest or writing about oneself.

Sorry to be discouraging; read the links in the Welcome paragraph above to learn more about contributing on subjects where you don't have a COI, but as far as your bands are concerned, good luck with them and by the time they meet WP:BAND probably one of your fans will want to write an article.
