Proposed deletion of Creation's tears

The article Creation's tears has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Seemingly non-notable band. A couple of guest appearances by notable artists and a little coverage on Blabbermouth is probably not enough to establish notability. The Russian sites seem to carry the same information as Blabbermouth is I am guessing it all written from the same press release or translated from Blabbermouth. All the attention is focussed on the guest drummer. The début album does not seem to be out and there is no indication of a record label.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. DanielRigal (talk) 11:11, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of Creation's tears

I have nominated Creation's tears, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Creation's tears.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. DanielRigal (talk) 19:06, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Cure For Poison Records / Record Label

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 Cure For Poison Records / Record Label 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 an organization or company, 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. Top Jim (talk) 09:46, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Nomination of Creation’s Tears for deletion

A discussion has begun about whether the article Creation’s Tears, which you created or to which you contributed, should be deleted. While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Creation’s Tears until a consensus is reached, and you are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

You may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Triwbe (talk) 12:44, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Help request

Hi, I notice that my article Creation's Tears has been nominated for deletion. This band are getting exposure in all the UK based rock magazines at present as well as on a number of credible websites and have been played on radio including BBC Radio 1. I wondered what content you'd require that I would improve in order for this article to avoid being deleted. I appreciate your help and suggestions.

You should participate in the deletion discussion and address the concerns raised there. The primary reason for deletion is generally for lack of notability. Notability is based upon current information and not anticipated information. See Wikipedia:Up and coming next big thing and WP:CRYSTAL. To establish the subject as notable you must provide verifiable references to the notability in significant coverage in reliable sources which are independent of the subject. See WP:GNG. Good luck with your efforts.My76Strat 17:17, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Lee Morris.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Lee Morris.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation.

You claimed that I have been granted use of this image by Lee Morris and Creation's Tears but there is no evidence of that permission. Unfortunately we do not accept your say so and there is no copyright licence indicating what type of permission was given. You will have to get the copyright holder send us their permission directly by following the procedure found at WP:PERMISSION. ww2censor (talk) 06:33, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Methods To End It All

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 Methods To End It All requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a musical recording which does not indicate why its subject is important or significant, and where the artist's article has never existed, has been deleted or is eligible for deletion itself. 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for music.

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. Yoenit (talk) 15:32, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

• Hi. The article was tagged for deletion due to lack of notability. Musical artists and recordings must meet a very high level of notability, explained here. Hoping this helps. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 16:09, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Why Was My Article Deleted?

That's the question you are probably asking yourself right now. Well, there are a couple reasons your article could have been deleted.

1. It may not have met the General notability guideline. This is the guideline that all articles must meet before they can be included on Wikipedia.
2. It may not have been notable. If a subject isn't notable, it isn't included. Your little brother's garage rock band with 5 fans isn't notable, but Metallica...that's notable.
3. It may not have been verifiable. If an article doesn't have several third-party reliable sources, it can be deleted as original research.
4. It may have been advertising. Any page about a company of any sort must meet strict guidelines so it isn't considered advertisting. A page about the local quickie-mart is probably advertising and also probably not notable.

• Please note that creating pages for "school projects" is frowned upon by the adminship and should not be done. Creating a page for a project is cause for deletion of the page and potentally a block of your account. Please avoid this at all costs.

To create an article, first, please read WP:FIRST. This page is about creating your first article. Then get all the information you can on the subject. Create the article first in userspace (on a subpage of your userpage) so it won't get deleted before you are finished. Add all the information, references, reliable sources and more to the page. Make sure it meets the General notability guideline. If you aren't sure, ask an admin, they will be glad to help. Then move it to where you want it in mainspace (on the Wikipedia). From there, keep it updated with pertinent updated information, so the article doesn't become stale. When in doubt with anything, ask the Help desk or an admin. Hope this helps...Neutralhomer • Talk • 17:17, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:CT Methods cover for web.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:CT Methods cover for web.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

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. multichill (talk) 22:19, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

reverted

I wanted to drop you a note. I reverted your actions at Brian Reynolds. If you wish to rename the page (which seemed to be your intention), we don't cut and paste the existing page to the new name. Doing so loses all the history of the edits to that page, and is incompatible with Wikipedia's licensing. If you want to rename the page, you can either move the page yourself (from the 'move' command under the little triangle menu next to the 'watchlist' star in the top bar), or you can read the instructions at WP:RM and request the move. I hope this is helpful. Syrthiss (talk) 12:41, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Jens Bogren

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

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

A tag has been placed on Jens Bogren requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} at the top of the article, immediately below the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate), and providing your reasons for contesting on the article's talk page, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

You may want to read the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. Mean as custard (talk) 13:11, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Possibly unfree File:Brian Eddie Reynolds by Carrie Davenport.jpg

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Brian Eddie Reynolds by Carrie Davenport.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files because its copyright status is unclear or disputed. If the file's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the file description page.

File permission problem with File:Brian Eddie Reynolds by Carrie Davenport.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Brian Eddie Reynolds by Carrie Davenport.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. VernoWhitney (talk) 17:50, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

File:Creation's Tears Logo.jpg missing description details

Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as:

• File:Creation's Tears Logo.jpg

is missing a description and/or other details on its image description page. If possible, please add this information. This will help other editors make better use of the image, and it will be more informative to readers.

If the information is not provided, the image may eventually be proposed for deletion, a situation which is not desirable, and which can easily be avoided.

If you have any questions, please see Help:Image page. Thank you. Theo's Little Bot (error?) 09:59, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Better source request for File:File:Creation's Tears Logo.jpg

Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia:

• File:File:Creation's Tears Logo.jpg

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 21:09, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
