Don's Teeth article

edit

Hello, I’ve just read this article. Thanks for writing it but I'm a bit concerned that this band might not be notable enough to qualify for a Wikipedia article. That basically is supposed to be based on being covered in reliable sources, like newspapers in the form of full articles, having a recording contract and so on.

Are there any extra citations you can add about this band showing it's notable? I'm concerned since the article may get deleted otherwise. If so just edit the article and add citations using the cite tool. If you've got any questions just reply below this and I'll try to get back to you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Don's Teeth

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 Don's Teeth 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 credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Username

As an additional point, your username and edits could be a problem - you're not supposed to write about yourself on Wikipedia. Below this I'm about to put some automated text which explains this and gives you some advice. Blythwood (talk) 07:40, 17 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
