Panjabi By Nature
You cannot copy the text from the musician's myspace page for two reasons. The first reason is that we have to assume that text is copyrighted. There is no evidence otherwise. If you are the owner of that mypsace account, you'd need to have a notice somewhere on the page stating what free license you are releasing that text under, or follow WP:COPYREQ to verify through the OTRS that you are the owner of that material. But more importantly, that direct text is not neutral nor encyclopedic. Wikipedia is not another myspace, nor a place to advertise for bands. It is an online encyclopedia, and we have rules about what our content should look like. The text in question simply doesn't fit. To have an article on the musician, it would require a complete re-write of that material for it to fit. Feel free to read up on basic policies and try to start your article again keeping these things in mind. Some helpful links will be posted below in a default welcome message:

The article Panjabi by nature has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article, which appeared to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki (talk) 17:29, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
