Speedy deletion nomination of S.Y.K.O.


A tag has been placed on S.Y.K.O. 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 is notable: 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 this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, 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, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 15:37, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Your hangon rationale
I have a few comments about what you wrote. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 16:09, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) Even though I am not a mainstream rapper I am close to becoming one.: That means that now is not the right time for Wikipedia to have an article on you. (Please note how I worded my comment here; I didn't say "for you to have a Wikipedia page," because no one can have that, not even Barack Obama.)
 * 2) I feel that having this page will help give me promotion: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and therefore must not be used for that purpose.
 * 3) If you don't believe me and think this is some kind of scam: As far as I can tell, no one has expressed any doubt that you exist. However, all articles in Wikipedia must be about notable subjects, and notability is not future, so "promising" is not good enough.


 * I agree with what Blanchardb has expressed above and that's why I have decided to agree with the person who tagged the article for speedy deletion. However, I wanted to add something that I have found in the past helps people understand what our qualifications are.  The specific criterion for rappers would be covered by WP:MUSICBIO.  If you were an athlete, our standards would be that you would either have to be competing at the highest possible amateur level -- such as the Olympics -- or for a fully professional team -- such as the Detroit Red Wings -- to be the subject of a Wikipedia article.  That's the level of accomplishment that we're looking at when we assess articles for notability.  I hope this helps you understand, and I wish you the best of luck with your future contributions.
