As you might be aware, I'm afraid your page got deleted, in spite of your efforts to make the article more encyclopaedic. I was pondering removing the deletion tag, but it looked like a more trigger-happy admin got there first.

If you really want to get a page up about Nick McCoy, it is acceptable to re-post a page that has been speedy deleted. However, I would strongly advise that first of all:


 * You read the guidelines of notability. (In the end, your article got deleted for lack of notability rather than the promotional tone.) It is generally considered the responsibility of the article writer to state notability. Citations to reliable independent sources will help.
 * You explain what you are changing when you re-post the article. Loads of people re-post the same deleted articles with no explanation and they tend to get re-deleted very quickly.

Hope this helps.
