Speedy deletion nomination of Guadalupe plata
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 Guadalupe plata 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 the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. -- Luke (Talk) 03:33, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
Removing Speedy at Guadalupe plata
edit
Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for taking the time to create a page here. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you created yourself. Because Wikipedia policy does not allow the creator of the page to remove deletion tags, an automated program has replaced the deletion tag you removed from Guadalupe plata. Please do not continue to remove the deletion tag, instead, if you disagree with the deletion, you can follow these steps:
- Go to the page by clicking this link. Once there, select the button that says Click here to contest this speedy deletion.
- This will take you to the talk page, where you can make your case by explaining why the page does not meet Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion.
Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do. For further help about the deletion, you could contact the user who first placed the tag or a highly active user who is willing to help with deletion. This message was left by a bot, so please do not contact the bot about the deletion. Thank you, - SDPatrolBot (talk) 03:39, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
Re: Guadalupe Plata Article
editThe article was deleted because it didn't indicate how the band are notable by Wikipedia's critera: see WP:Notability and WP:Band for more details (basically there should be significant coverage of the band in outside media). There needs to be reliable sources backing up the claims made. It was also written in a promotional style, not in a neutral, encyclopedic style.
If you want to work on the article without fear of it being deleted, you can do so in your user space, for example, at User:Jturn101/Guadalupe Plata. You should also visit the page WP:Drawing board where other editors will give their opinion on what you're working on. Once it's ready it can be moved to the main article space. ... discospinster talk 18:07, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
