User talk:We're The Brits

August 2011
Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. However, I noticed that your username (We&#39;re The Brits) may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because user page claims to represent a group, not an individual. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account to use for editing. Thank you. Escape Orbit (Talk) 23:49, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

The username We Are The Brits is a charity single for Afghan Heroes and is referring to the song. I wanted to have a page to give the background of the song. I tried to do We Are The Brits but it wouldn't let me and yet I could not find anywhere on google the name We Are The Brits wiki page. Can you check it for me as I would prefer to use that.

If you want to confirm what I'm saying here is the youtube link for the charity song entitled We Are The Brits http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dk5uwz2FBoA

Many thanks.
 * Unfortunately you cannot have a user name in Wikipedia that represents a group of people, or an organisation, or is publicising anything. What you should do is request a change of username and, if you can demonstrate it is notable and can describe it neutrally (i.e. not as an advert), create an article called We Are The Brits. When you say "it wouldn't let me", what reason were you given?  Thanks. -- Escape Orbit  (Talk) 09:23, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

It said is was taken already but when I searched for it on google it wasn't anywhere.
 * There isn't an article created for this. Here is a link to it; We Are The Brits, if this appear in red then it means there isn't an article to link to.  But if you click on it anyway, it will let you start to write an article with this name. -- Escape Orbit  (Talk) 10:22, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of We Are The Brits


A tag has been placed on We Are The Brits requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a musical recording which does not indicate why its subject is important or significant, and where the artist's article has never existed, has been deleted or is eligible for deletion itself. 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for music.

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". 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. AndrewWTaylor (talk) 15:50, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Need to demonstrate notability
You need to demonstrate that We Are The Brits is notable (<- click on this link to read about what makes it notable), otherwise it will be deleted. This doesn't mean just saying "it's important and I don't think it should be deleted because I want to tell people about it". You need to show where it has been talked about and referred to in the media, papers etc. You need to demonstrate that the people involved are notable. -- Escape Orbit (Talk) 17:20, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Your response seems to have been posted at Notability (music) rather than in the particular AFD discussion so it has been reverted. RJFJR (talk) 20:16, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
 * (I just checked and the article seems to be up for CSD (speedy deletion) rather than AFD.) RJFJR (talk) 20:18, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Hello,

I don't understand all you are saying, is there someone I can speak to properly on this. It seems like I'm talking to a machine - is this correct? I would like to speak to someone that can help me please. Thank you. A Lorien
