[edit] Speedy deletion of Retsin

A tag has been placed on Retsin 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, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. - Jameson L. Tai talk ♦ contribs 23:37, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Naysayer

It was a duplicate article - there was one at Naysayer and The Naysayer. ... discospinster talk 00:00, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi spinster, So you deleted the duplicate, and rigthfully so, and then the main page The Naysayer was also deleted by somebody else, even after I fleshed out. Arrrgggghhh!!! It's like being in Brazil on here. OK. Thanks for listening.PMonaghan (talk) 01:42, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] April 2008

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Carrot Top Records, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

  1. editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam);
    and you must always:
  4. avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Business' FAQ. For more details about what constitutes a conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Conflict of Interest. Thank you. // Chris (complaints)•(contribs) 00:30, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi Chris. Of course I have a conflict of interest as I am the owner of the label, but if I am simply adding additional links and info to the label discography, and creating artist pages, then is there a problem with that? No value judgements on the records or "best ever" comments.PMonaghan (talk) 01:15, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
Take a look at WP:MUSIC, which gives notability guidelines for music-related articles. They two main things we look for are coverage in third-party sources, and whether the band is signed to a label (qualifications for labels are discussed on that page). The pages I tagged lacked outside sources, and I have doubts about the notability of the label as well. If you have coverage of the bands and want to try recreating the articles, go for it. Also, to avoid accusations of conflict of interest, you should probably state your affiliation on your user page. There's nothing wrong with editing these articles, just make your relationship is in the open. // Chris (complaints)•(contribs) 01:38, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey Chris, Can you please send me a copy of this work too? I'll flesh it out. Do I have to wait until the record is actually released, and tagged somewhere else, to achieve notability even if both artists are in other notable bands already? Thanks!PMonaghan (talk) 04:47, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, but I didn't delete it, I just tagged the article. user:Fabrictramp was the deleting admin - contact him/her and ask for a copy. // Chris (complaints)•(contribs) 05:05, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Retsin

I have restored the article content to your userspace as User:PMonaghan/Retsin. Bear in mind that the article will need quite a bit of work to meet Wikipedia standards, but this way, at least, you can work on it. Cheers —Travistalk 02:17, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Naysayer

Restored as User:PMonaghan/The Naysayer. It was tagged and deleted for the reasons noted above by Jameson and Chris. —Travistalk 12:59, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Also, I would like to suggest that you read WP:MUSIC, WP:N and WP:COI to get some more answers about your articles and why they were deleted. —Travistalk 13:01, 21 April 2008 (UTC)


Thanks Travis. Have already read some of that but will check out the rest, write longer articles in Sandbox, and post when more fleshed out to avoid the deletion vampyres. Thanks much.PMonaghan (talk)
Hey Travis. A question. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to place a proper Travis Talkback at the top of my page. What would that look like exactly that I can cut and paste. I've read, reread, taken a break and read yet again, and I've looked for examples I can't seem to find. I can't figure it out. Is it "Template:TravisTX"? Thanks.PMonaghan (talk) 01:17, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
The template isn’t mine, it is a standard template - see {{talkback}} for the documentation. Cheers —Travistalk 15:58, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
