User talk:Shawn Bowen

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Shawn Bowen, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be blatant advertising which only promotes or publicises a company, product, group or service, and which is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages; user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

If you can indicate why the page is not blatant advertising, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy deletion candidate). Doing so will take you to your user talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also edit this page directly to give your reasons, 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 help make it encyclopedic. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. INeverCry  01:36, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (your reason here) --Shawn Bowen (talk) 05:01, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I am not making this page to try and promote myself, I am a professional musician and am simply trying to document my work with a biographical article. If there is a certain way I need to word things or make changes I would be happy to, not sure I understand why I was "patrolled" and tagged for deletion? My bands have been mentioned on Wikipedia several times and I am trying to add a bio. Does a 3rd party have to do it so it doesn't get tagged as promotion? Here is a bio page about one of my former bands: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurotica_(band) Here is my current band "Didges Christ SuperDrum" mentioned on the page about the song Black is the Colour as we released a remake of it last year: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Is_the_Colour_(Of_My_True_Love%27s_Hair)

I would like to make a biography page for Didges Christ SuperDrum as well, but want to follow the rules and not just get tagged as self promotion.

This is the page for our vocalist's other band "Atheist"  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atheist_(band)

This is the bio page for the bass player Tony Choy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Choy

These are the kinds of pages I am trying to make, I am not trying to blatantly advertise anything and would appreciate help in correcting what I am doing wrong, THANK YOU for your time and help!
