Speedy deletion nomination of Pete moore uk


A tag has been placed on Pete moore uk 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.

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 hang-on 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. 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. v/r - TP 22:07, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Advice
Hi there, to stop the page being deleted, be sure to read WP:BIO and WP:BASIC and make sure that you show why we should have an article about this guy. Cheers SmartSE (talk) 22:38, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Status and Advice
Actually, as reviewing administrator, you did assert it pretty clearly. Another ed. removed the speedy tag, & I agree with them. But the article needs some major editing. First of all, and most important, it needs references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases. I marked some places where they were particularly needed, to justify statements of opinion. If there are awards, add them--with references. But there were also many words of praise, something we call "Peacock" writing. I removed most of them, but check if there are others that do more than make a plain statement of the facts. ANd make certain that none of the material T is copied from a web site -- first it's a copyright violation, but, even if you give us permission according to WP:DCM, the tone will not be encyclopedic and the material will not be suitable.

I advise you to do this very quickly, before the article gets nominated for deletion by a regular deletion process.  DGG ( talk ) 18:06, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
