Speedy deletion nomination of Staid (band)


A tag has been placed on Staid (band) 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 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.  Yash  t  101   07:51, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only you.

Additionally, it appears your account is intended to be used for the purpose of telling the world about an organization or cause that you consider worthwhile. Unfortunately, many good causes are not sufficiently notable for their own Wikipedia article, and all users are discouraged from editing in any area where they have an inherent conflict of interest, though you may wish to consider one of these alternative outlets. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 08:59, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

There are plenty of sites like Myspace where you can write about your band, but Wikipedia is different: it is a project to build an encyclopedia. I'm sorry that we don't explain all this very well in advance, but: Good luck with your band; once it has become notable, someone else will want to write about it. Till then, there are Myspace and Facebook and other sites like that. JohnCD (talk) 09:07, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Accounts must be for individuals only, who are personally responsible for them, and accounts whose names are those of groups or organizations are not allowed,
 * Wikipedia is selective about subjects for articles - see WP:BAND for what a band need to have achieved before they can have an article,
 * Even if notable, you should not write about yourself or your own band, for reasons explained at WP:Conflict of interest and WP:Autobiography.
