Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Mental Creepers


This page was tagged "submission declined" on 2012 March 2. Since then has continued to edit but made no attempt to submit. I suggest that the user has no intention of submitting but is simply treating Wikipedia as a free host. &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:10, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete not notable, no prospect of becoming notable enough to merit a WP article. If deleted, closer should also delete Mental Creepers and someone should then nominate File:Mental Creepers YAY!.PNG and File:Past and present masks for wikipedia.PNG for deletion at Commons.

 * Delete: the reviewer asked that more references (besides the band's Facebook page) be added, but no more have been provided. &mdash; rybec   14:10, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment - I haven't tried to submit Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Mental Creepers since 2012 March 2 because the references I would attempt to use would not show adequate notability for the band. I planned to continue to accurately edit the page until a time of which evidence could be provided to show their notability. 12:00, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, that's a nice idea but unfortunately the effect is that you're just using Wikipedia as a free webhost for a pseudo-article about a band that is miles away from being worth a place in an encyclopaedia. There's no guarantee your band will ever be notable and Wikipedia isn't designed to keep draft articles around for indeterminate periods just in case that happens.  If the band ever becomes notable, you'd be far better off starting from scratch with future sources than unsourced and unsourceable trivia about your masks and a band member being forced to quit by his parents. In fact, when I say "you'd be far better off", what I actually mean is don't write about your band at all, now or in the future – let someone else do it. BencherliteTalk 00:10, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I see what you mean. I agree it would be better if someone who is a wikipedia expert should operate the page when there are reliable resources to use. Do you know any good webhosting sites I could use in the meantime? If my band were to be interviewed by a reliable source, could I or the other members tell some of the information currently on the page and then it could be source-able information that can be used here on wikipedia? Do you mean pictures when you say "trivia" when talking about the masks? How long will it be before the page is deleted? Molten P Mo (talk) 01:38, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Consider looking through Alternative outlets for some ideas about where else you may host your content. -- Whpq (talk) 13:55, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

These discussions usually run for a week. If you haven't done so already, you might want to save a copy of the wiki text of your article, and the images you made for it, so that you can publish them elsewhere. &mdash; rybec   01:51, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - There is no evidence that this band is close to meeting Wikipedia's inclusion guidelines. Articles creation is is not a place for indefinite article creation. -- Whpq (talk) 13:55, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
