Speedy deletion nomination of Midnight Anythings


A tag has been placed on Midnight Anythings requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Rare Akuma (talk) 02:12, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Midnight Anythings
Hi there. I am a Christian Wikipedian and occasional new page patroller. I noticed you created an article about Midnight Anythings, a band. While I did not nominate it for deletion (someone else did), I do see why they did it. Articles about bands, groups, and solo musicians (as well as songwriters, composers, etc.) have to meet certain criteria. You can find that criteria by clicking here, or by typing WP:BAND into the search box. An article about a music act only has to meet one of 12 criteria. However, Midnight Anythings met none. If you were developing that article (a.k.a. it wasn't finished), something to consider next time is:

1. Put at the very top of the page. If the necessary editing to finish the article will take minutes or hours, this will alert other users not to delete the article until the tag is removed.

2. Develop the article in a user subpage. If the necessary editing to finish the article will take days or weeks, this will virtually prevent deletion entirely. What I mean by a user subpage is, basically, it's an article incubator.

For example, there's this band I like called Wolves at the Gate. If they were to have an article, it would be called Wolves at the Gate (band). You'll notice that that article doesn't exist because it's being developed by me at User:Djc wi/Wolves at the Gate (band). To create a subpage to develop an article, simply type in your username followed by a slash, and then what the name of the article will be. Of course, make sure that name isn't taken first by something else - Wolves at the Gate is taken, so my article has to be called Wolves at the Gate (band).

When you're done with the subpage, you can move it to an article space. If you need help with that, you can contact me or Walter Görlitz, another Christian Wikipedian. One of us will review the article and make sure it meets the criteria. Don't move it until it meets criteria or it will most likely get deleted.

If you need help with anything else, feel free to contact me, or if you'd like to look at some articles I created that passed criteria, check out my user page. Some examples are Jamie Grace, The Rubyz, and Hyland (band).

Happy editing. May God bless you. --Djc wi (talk) 03:30, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
