Speedy deletion nomination of DJ Hollygrove 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 DJ Hollygrove 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. WuhWuzDat 18:45, 19 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Removing Speedy at DJ Hollygrove edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from DJ Hollygrove, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 18:58, 19 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of DJ Hollygrove edit

 

The article DJ Hollygrove has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Bluefist talk 19:33, 19 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

DJ Hollygrove deleted and locked edit

Enough other users have told you that your article DJ Hollygrove is not within our inclusion criteria at this time. It has not been suitable for Wikipedia since first created and quickly deleted in 2008.

Looking at the deletion log it has now been created and deleted around 6 times, apparently each time by yourself (or at best by someone close to you).

I have deleted it and locked the page. If you wish to appeal or contest this decision, you are welcome to ask at deletion review. Until endorsed by the community at deletion review, you should not re-create it.

Proposed deletion of Ocean of Soul edit

 

The article Ocean of Soul has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non notable marching band, fails WP:NMUSIC

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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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. Jezhotwells (talk) 01:05, 8 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
