Speedy deletion of "Stuntface (punk band)"
A page you created, Stuntface (punk band), has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a band or other musical group, but it does not indicate how they are important or significant, and thus why they should be included in an encyclopedia. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and the guidelines for musical groups in particular.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thank you.  Josh3580 talk/hist 16:33, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for message. You can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~. I deleted your article because
 * it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. I couldn't even see any indication that this band met the criteria. They released under their own label or other indie labels and the only named venue is a pub in Chester. Not really significant enough for an encyclopaedia article on basis of what you wrote.
 * You have an obvious conflict of interest when it comes to editing articles about this subject. Thank you for declaring your interest. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that your band is notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Requested articles for the article to be created. See also Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.
 * I strongly suggest that you create a new account with a different user name. You are not allowed to have a name that appears to represent an organisation, product or company. If your article had been written in a promotional tone about a still-existing group, I would have already blocked you from editing. As it is, another admin may do just that, so best to create a new account with an acceptable name.
