You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Fraudulence 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 the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can 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 a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. Thebestofall007 (talk) 06:45, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
- Let me explain why the article was deleted. A band that's up-and-coming, or has "potential", can't have an article on Wikipedia. It must have already arrived. It isn't enough that the band has fans. It also needs significant coverage in reliable publications (not blogs or press releases), as well as other criteria specifically for bands. Please see WP:BAND to understand the criteria a band must meet before it merits an article here. ~Amatulić (talk) 07:20, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
i found the WP:BAND page very helpful. thank you for helping a new user.
- I have restored the article to User:Spencerbutch/Fraudulence. Work on it there for now. I'm happy to review it when you believe it might be ready for moving to main article space. ~Amatulić (talk) 08:04, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
