Speedy deletion nomination of James Flannigan

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 James Flannigan 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 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. Zakhalesh (talk) 13:51, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Nomination of Stiff Dylans for deletion

The article Stiff Dylans is being discussed concerning whether it is suitable for inclusion as an article according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

Sock/meatpuppetry

Hello. Because of your and JFLAN88's recent edits and your user names, I believe that you're associated not only with the subject of your edits (WP:COI) but with each other as well. This is known as sock- or meatpuppetry, and is not allowed in most cases. You were probably unaware of our policy, so I won't request investigation on the matter if the accounts cease editing the same subjects and participating in the same debates, in other words, stop violating WP:SOCK. I'll also request investigation if more suspicious accounts begin popping up or if you deny using sock/meatpuppets, as that's the only fair way to find out. If you're using socks, now's the time to be honest and give them up - if you aren't, you have nothing to fear and are welcome to edit as usual. Zakhalesh (talk) 13:45, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
