[edit] Mike Campese

Hello, I have deleted Mike Campese once again as a repost of previously deleted content. If you want to start an article on this subject, you need to write it from scratch, in your own words, and prove how he is notable. None of the links you provide prove notability. Please see WP:BAND for more direction. Thanks --Spike Wilbury ♫ talk 19:22, 20 January 2008 (UTC)


If you read the links carefully you will see that there is many noteable things he has done, this is info on the net that I ran across. The Jason Becker CD he was on is a worldwide release and all the major guitar magazine lessons he has written are a worldwide release. I have read the page you suggested WP:BAND and it listed what is considered notable, here is one of them "This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, magazine articles, and television documentaries" I would not of decided to write a page if the info was not important. Can you help me out with this? maybe start it off in the right direction.......Alistern

Appearing on a Jason Becker CD might be borderline. I would prefer to have additional sources. Please read the criteria more carefully - you have to be the subject of one or more article, not the author of. I have said all along that Campese could/should have an article, but the major problem all along has been that he himself or people related to him have created the article over and over using the exact same text, suggesting that it is being copied from somewhere. This is a conflict of interest (you never write articles about yourself) and it is also a likely copyright violation. My best piece of advice is to start from scratch, write a short article in your own words, and cite sources that prove he is notable. Thanks --Spike Wilbury ♫ talk 12:51, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello Spike, I know he has done a lot of magazine articles in Guitar World and Guitar Player, I ran across a few on the net. That is why I put up the links. There are articles on Mike's site that I have seen archived, but how would you cite those? The Jason Becker CD is on itunes and Mike's name is listed, isn't that a source? I enclosed that link above. Also, I did enclose a link above where it mentiones he wrote music for a Lions Gate movie. I'm not related to him I just like his style, I enjoy listening to guitar players that play like him. I'm seeing this info on a lot of places. I remember he had a page a couple years back that was around for a while. I'm sorry, this site can be real confusing, maybe you can help me start the page and I can get the idea? If you look at other guitarist pages, it is all similiar......Ali

Above all else, I must again stress that you need to write the article from scratch in your own words. You cannot copy and paste text from the previous article or from anywhere on the Web. I would start with a basic statement of who he is, and then you can create a heading where you discuss how he is notable (ie, mention that he has played on albums with notable articles, he has toured nationally or internationally with Trans-Siberian Orchestra, whatever else you can find). You might create a heading with his discography. You then need a heading called "References" where you list links proving the statements you made in the article. You can make a heading called "External links" where you can list his official web site (nothing else). I would not list or write about his instructional material because that is basically commercial promotion - the purpose of this article is to inform people about Campese as a guitarist but not to promote him. See the difference? Don't worry too much about exact formatting, someone can come along later and help clean it up. --Spike Wilbury ♫ talk 19:10, 21 January 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:MikeC.jpg

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.
