Response to your note regarding deletion of your band's article
Hi. The article was not deleted due to doubt that you are a band. It was deleted due to lack of any claim of notability. In order to be an encyclopedic article your band must have significant claim to fame. In addition, it is inappropriate to add your own band to Wikipedia. This is considered WP:VANITY and WP:SPAM. Please don't take this as any slight against your band. (They don't have an article on my band either...) - T&#949;x  &#964;  ur&#949;  18:50, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

A word on Wikipedia
If you find that other editors are deleting your work, it's probably because the article wasn't in line with what we expect here. The criteria for speedy deletion may explain. See also what Wikipedia is not. Also, if it helps, you can create and edit your own user page, and generally people won't bother you about what's there. Friday (talk) 18:50, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Criteria for bands
While not universially accepted, the criteria on the page WP:MUSIC are often used in considering whether an article about a band should be kept or deleted. it also helps if the article has an encyclopedic tone, that is it doesn't sound too much like an ad or a press release. Try reading WP:SPAM.

But if you are a long way from fulfilling the WP:MUSIC criteria then the odds are agaisnt you. It will help if any article is so written as to make it clear why the band is notable or important -- not how good they are, but how well known they already are. Wikipedia is not, in general, a place for unknown or little known groups to gain publicity, it is a place for people to record knowledge about, and other people to learn about, things already reasonably well known.

You could write about your band on your user page User:Thesexysluts and then when you are bettter known the content could be moved into the article space. DES (talk) 19:26, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

band article
Thanks Texture,

Is there any way we can post our band without it seeming like "vanity" or "spam"?

 * Not really under currrent guidelines and thinking unless your band grows to the point that an article can be developed independently based on your increased status. However, Wikipedia is a consensus driven community.  If you want to become involved in the decisions made regarding music and band articles check out WikiProject Music.  As mentioned by Friday, you can also include whatever you'd like on your user page. -  T&#949;x  &#964;  ur&#949;  19:40, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
