I'm the autor i see there are 1000 of pages like the one i just wrote can you please consider to help me writing this page instead of delete it? i'll add some of the other pages of artists like maztek here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noisia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sun_Empire https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_C

I work with all these artists so actually i don't undertsand why people shouldn't know who is maztek and what he does this is my opinion thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Matteo cavo (talk • contribs) 20:35, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
 * This one appears to be close to the borderline. KMag would have got there if it hadn't ceased dead tree publication, and the article about Maztek didn't head itself as a blog.  But as it is, your sources all (except possibly the Italian one) fail the Wikipedia Reliable Sources standard because they are either promotional material (e.g. Ram Records or a gig listing) or they are blog entries and as such there is no accountability.  Find a couple of printed magazine articles about him.  For the record someone's put Nosia and Black Sun Empire up for deletion (there's a vast amount of stuff on Wikipedia that should be deleted under the GNG - Andy C appears to be safe because of his awards, which are another way of showing notability.  Unfortunately as things stand I'm going to have to say Delete - but with pointers as to how this can be changed. Neonchameleon (talk) 00:53, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

"Keep" I found many printed magazines about this but how to insert them? here is the link with the printed magazines scans http://www.maztek.net/public/index.php/gallery/press/ Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Matteo cavo (talk • contribs) 11:48, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
 * That page appears to be a severe copyright violation (unless of course you have permission from each and every one of those publications to publish their content?), and should probably not even be linked to from Wikipedia. As for inserting quotes or links, the simple answer is that you should not do either, since as the subject of the article you have a conflict of interest and are as such strongly discouraged from editing the article. As noted above, I have nominated Noisia and Black Sun Empire for deletion as neither article has any indication of notability of the subject (thanks for drawing attention to those); however, you might like to read WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS - other less-than-ideal articles are in no way a justification for keeping this one.

 * Severe? Hardly.  Linking does not count as copyright violation, and all of those things are a) excerpts and b) about the person/organization that has posted them.  They may well have permission to repost articles about themselves.   Th e S te ve   07:04, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Linking to such a page from here is against policy, see WP:LINKVIO.

 * You seem to have missed the part where I said it wasn't violating copyrights, due to both fair use and interviewee IP rights (subjects of interviews are generally considered to have some copyright in the final publication). However, I am not an expert in Italian copyright law.   Th e S te ve   12:47, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
