Speedy deletion nomination of The caezars
A tag has been placed on The caezars 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 administrators to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. &mdash; Timneu22 · &#32; talk 14:12, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of The caezars


A tag has been placed on The caezars requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  at the top of the article, immediately below the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate), and providing your reasons for contesting on the article's talk page, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

You may want to read the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. Vgranucci (talk) 14:29, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

October 2010
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page The caezars 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.youtube.com/results?search_query=caezars&aq=f. 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 and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file. 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. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 14:34, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to introduce inappropriate pages to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. If you need guidance on how to create appropriate pages, try using the Article Wizard. The title has been protected against recreation. Please review WP:BAND for the criteria necessary for articles on musical acts. PMDrive1061 (talk) 15:00, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

I am trying to create a band page, what am I doing wrong?
I hope this is the correct place to ask a question. I would like to create a page for my band on this site because they meet the twelfth criteria of the WP:BAND as follows: "12.Has been the subject of a half-hour or longer broadcast across a national radio or TV network." my band, The Caezars were the subject of the 3 hour BBC radio 2 programme "God's Jukebox" presented by Mark Lammarr. Proof of this is presented here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00tq2ln I would like to know why I can not create the page when my band passes the criteria set. Can you help me? Thanks. Rockerboy1959 (talk) 14:46, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
 * That criteria isn't the only one, though it's great that it has been covered. There is the WP:GNG general notability requirement, and the need for multiple WP:RS reliable sources. I recommend creating the page under your user page, like this:
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Rockerboy1969/BandInProgress - follow the instructions to create the page.  Then add this template to the top of the page:  and look at other band pages which use reliable sources, to model your page after. After it's well developed, as checked by other editors,  it can be moved to the main space.

Guidance on notability
Hi Rockerboy1959,

Wikipedia has its own guidance for notability that may not be the same as your intuitive sense of what is notable. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia of general knowledge rather than an index of profiles of companies and people. Each article needs several independent reliable sources to show significant impact on the historical record. The guidance for organizations is given at WP:ORG and for biographies WP:BIO applies.

If the articles you are creating have reliable sources to support the criteria defined in that guidance then you may have a reason to keep the articles from being deleted which you are welcome to raise on the article talk page or on any linked deletion discussion. If you are associated with the organization, person or product the article is about then you must follow the conflict of interest guidelines and avoid editing the article yourself but you are free to suggest and discuss changes.

Rather than starting "live" articles, you can create a draft first which allows you to get your article properly sourced before risking speedy deletion - see Userspace draft and Userfication.

If you would like some independent help you can ask one of the noticeboards at WP:Requests or try chatting with other Wikipedians on.

Thanks, Fæ (talk) 15:20, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I concur, as indicated in the request for help, above. --Lexein (talk) 15:33, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
