Speedy deletion nomination of Template:Kid Mac music edit

 

A tag has been placed on Template:Kid Mac music requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an unambiguous misrepresentation of established policy.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to 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 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. MikeWazowski (talk) 01:39, 9 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Conflict of interest edit

  Hello Lharriet1. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about following the reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

  • Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
  • Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
  • Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
  • Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. —teb728 t c 00:44, 10 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Macario De Souza edit

You asked on my talk page for advice on this article, presumably because it has previously been deleted and you don't want it to happen again. The basic requirement for an article on Wikipedia is that the subject must be notable. The general notability guidelines are at WP:N and those specific to musicians are at WP:MUSIC. For a musician's article to avoid speedy deletion there must be a "credible claim of importance" stated in the article. This is usually taken to mean that it claims to meet at least one of the criteria in WP:MUSIC.

An article can still be deleted even if it does not qualify for speedy deletion, but in this case there must first be an organised debate in which you will be given a chance to put your case. One of the core Wikipedia policies is verifiability (WP:V). An article has a much better chance of avoiding deletion if it is verified by reliable sources. See WP:RS for our guidelines on what counts as a reliable source. Well-referenced articles are almost never nominated for deletion, and if they are, the nominator had better have a very good reason.
