  Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 18:36, 20 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

At the top of my talk page it says to add new messages at the bottom of the page with a heading, please do that instead of inserting your text into another editor's message, as you did here, I've moved it now.

Thank you for declaring your conflict of interest. That doesn't mean you can write what you like, you must follow the guidance below:

  • When you write about a band, you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that they meet the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the band or an associated organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the band claims or interviewing them. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls.
  • You had no references of any kind.
  • There is nothing to suggest that you meet the music notability guidelines. You don't mention awards, chart placing, signing to a major label or anything else relevant to our guidance.
  • You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews.
  • You text was pure spam from beginning to end with no actual facts eg renowned for their eclectic blend of musical genres that seamlessly fuse ... has carved a unique niche in the Bangladeshi music scene, captivating audiences with their innovative sound and heartfelt performances... a band with a rich, multi-layered sound... The album's success led to numerous live performances, where they enthralled audiences with their electrifying stage presence and tight musicianship...
  • There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
  • That includes links to YouTube
  • You must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.
  • Fact-free spam anyway, so I didn't check

You said we are music band situated in Bangladesh and are trying to provide as much information as possible to our fans and community. Wikipedia is not free promotion, stick to social media.

There is no point restoring your text, it's just fact-free promo.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Please note

  • if you write a new draft, you must submit it for review, because of your COI you can't move it to article space yourself
  • If a new version is anything like the first, I will indefinitely block you from editing for spamming
