Speedy deletion nomination of SayWeCanFly
Hello Prescottwilk,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged SayWeCanFly for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, Writ Keeper &#9863;&#9812; 17:46, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Your edit here to SayWeCanFly was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://www.youtube.com/user/SayWeCanFly) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original. 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of SayWeCanFly


A tag has been placed on SayWeCanFly 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, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, 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 the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. Ubelowme U Me  22:01, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

First the bad news, then...
Please read WP:USERNAME. Wikipedia accounts are for one individual only. I would seriously suggest that you open individual accounts right away. I realise that you haven't been misusing the account and have been open about things, but if anyone else sees what you posted on the article talk page, it could be blocked as a compromised account. As to the article, it wouldn't survive as it stood, so I've moved it into your user space at User:Prescottwilk/SayWeCanFly. If it is to have any chance, it must be referenced better. You only use non-independent and non-reliable sources. Look at WP:RS. For showing notability, not blogs, forums, wikis, Facebook etc, YouTube etc, iTunes, reverbnation, the subject's own site, your own site(s), anything at blogspot or wordpress etc, your aunt's own site (unless she has an article here already showing she is a notable critic), etc, etc. Get the picture? All those are editable or not independent. Read WP:BAND about notability for musicians. Ask questions. OK. Does your big man want an actual article space article, or will one in user space do? (How much does he actually know about how things work here - I see quite a bit of student work and some of the professors/lecturers/whatever don't seem to know much some times. Right - that's your homework set. Another couple of users who are nice and helpful are User:Yopienso who is involved with education, and User:MelanieN on whom I unload problems from time to time. Good luck - don't be afraid to ask questions (and if you take my advice, say who you are if you leave me a message after starting new accounts - doesn't matter for the others).

 * PS Read WP:NPOV too. Avoid anything that sounds promo. BTW You can still edit the thing here or move it to one or other new account. Ask if not sure how. Peridon (talk) 22:30, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
