Speedy deletion nomination of Sound and music computing

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Sound and music computing, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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.

  Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 02:18, 29 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

=Status and Advice

As reviewing administrator, I think this at least somewhat informative, and not entirely promotional, so speedy deletion declined. But it needs improvements. Try to write in a tone as if you were explaining what the field meant, not trying to show why it was important. Add some references to major published discussions. Don't use boldface, just write in paragaphys, without saying "this part" or other stylistic devices that make it sound like a lecture or textbook. Don't use jargon, such as "challenges" . Good luck with it. DGG ( talk ) 03:19, 29 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Concur; you did some work on it after it was tagged, so it's an improvement. If you want help, leave me a note on my talkpage, I'd be more than happy to. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 04:09, 29 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hey, I wanted to thank you for your excellent edit work on the Shruti article. I wasn't quite comfortable enough with the literature to do it myself, and you summarized it very well! --Gargletheape (talk) 00:12, 17 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

WikiProject India Tag & Assess 2012 Contest

edit

Hello friends, we are a number of editors from WikiProject India have got together to assess the many thousands of articles under the stewardship of the project, and we'd love to have you, a fellow member, join us. These articles require assessment, that is, the addition of a WikiProject template to the talk page of an article, assessing it for quality and importance and adding a few extra parameters to it.

As of March 11, 2012, 07:00 UTC, WikiProject India has 95,998 articles under its stewardship. Of these 13,980 articles are completely unassessed (both for class and importance) and another 42,415 articles are unassessed for importance only. Accordingly, a Tag & Assess 2012 drive-cum-contest has begun from March 01, 2012 to last till May 31, 2012.

If you are new to assessment, you can learn the minimum about how to evaluate from Part One of the Assessment Guide. Part Two of the Guide will help you learn to employ the full functionality of the talk page template, should you choose to do so.

You can sign up on the Tag & Assess page. There are a number of awards to be given in recognition of your efforts. Come & join us to take part in this exciting new venture. You'll learn more about India in this way.
