Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on.

Speedy deletion nomination of Roberto Zambia
A tag has been placed on Roberto Zambia requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a musical recording which does not indicate why its subject is important or significant, and where the artist's article has never existed, has been deleted or is eligible for deletion itself. 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 music.

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 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.

Answer to your email
Hi. I am sorry to have been slow replying, but I don't look at my email very often. A better way to communicate on Wikipedia is to use the talk pages - click on "(talk)" beside a user's signature, and then add a message to the bottom of the talk page, or click "new section" at the top.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and is not intended as a site for people to post about themselves - that is strongly discouraged, for reasons explained at WP:Autobiography. There are sites like Myspace and Facebook for that. Subjects for Wikipedia articles have to be of enough general interest for an encyclopedia: the Wikipedia word for that is notability, which is not a subjective judgement but means that the subject "has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". For articles about people there are more details at Notability (people), and for musical performers at WP:BAND.

Although writing about yourself is discouraged, it is not forbidden; however any article you write is likely to be looked at particularly hard to check that the references are independent and notability is established. There is good advice at User:Uncle G/On notability: "When writing about subjects that are close to you, don't use your own personal knowledge of the subject, and don't cite yourself, your web site, or the subject's web site. Instead, use what is written about the subject by other people, independently, as your sources. Cite those sources in your very first edit.  If you don't have such sources, don't write."

More advice in the links from the Welcome paragraph above. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 22:46, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
