[edit] Stapes (aka Scott Messorano, DJ Mod Scott, Scott Stapes) as writer/singer/songwriter/musician/actor from Staten Island, New York.
Here's the thing about this article. It has a horrible title. No one will ever search for this. Move it to Scott Stapes or something. If you don't know how, just ask me or request help on the article's talk page.
Also, it's not set up at all like an encyclopedia article. Do not put long quotes in the article. You are violating copyrights of material written by somebody else. Take whatever is not your own words right out of the article.
Read Wikipedia:Guide to layout. Set it up like a regular Wikipedia article and perhaps other problems will not be an issue.
If you get the article fixed up, or are pretty sure you can do so, remove the {{prod}} template to stop the deletion process. But if other editors aren't convinced this is a worthwhile article (see WP:NOT), it may still face deletion through debate at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion.

Hi there. The article Stapes (aka Scott Messorano, DJ Mod Scott, Scott Stapes) as writer/singer/songwriter/musician/actor from Staten Island, New York. has been tagged for deletion, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the article (also see Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, Wikipedia:Importance).
