I give permission to wikepedia and myself to repost the biography of Twice As Good from the offical band website to wikipedia. The reason for this is they are now a musical artist featured on Lala.com and need to have their image and biography first on wikipedia before it can be uploaded to Lala.com. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Twice As Good 2XG

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Twice As Good 2XG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Hairhorn (talk) 00:18, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice that Twice As Good, a page that you created, has been tagged for deletion.

If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. (See section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Wikipedia has standards for the minimum necessary information to be included in short articles; you can see these at Wikipedia:Stub. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
• It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

Twice As Good article

I would first read the general notability guideline. If a topic fails this guideline, its article is likely to be deleted, so first make sure that your band meets the guideline before trying to write another article on Twice As Good. In the case that it does meet the general notability guideline, you would have to cite sources in the new article showing that Twice As Good meets the guideline (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners for how to do this). However, because you're a member of the band, you'd have to be very careful to remain neutral (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest). As long as you remain neutral and cite some good, reliable sources, the article should be kept. Chris the Paleontologist (talk • contribs) 15:42, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Reply to your message on my talk page

There is a complicated history here, that has taken me some time to understand.

In September 2011 you submitted Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Twice As Good. That was declined because it did not show how the band was notable. There is a notice above on your talk page telling you that, and saying "Please view your submission to see the comments left by the reviewer. Feel free to edit the submission to address the issues raised, and resubmit once you feel they have been resolved", but you did nothing more with that, and two years later it was flagged for deletion as an abandoned draft. That is the one I deleted.

Clicking on Twice As Good shows directly-submitted articles deleted in 2010 and 2012 by other administrators.

Now, this year, you have made User:Bluesmanpaul/Twice As Good and Draft:Twice As Good.

The 2011 version that I deleted can be restored if you like, but I see no point because you have the more up-to-date Draft:Twice As Good. That is the one you should work on.

You are evidently one of the band. One point I should make clear is that Wikipedia is not intended as a place for people to write about themselves or their own affairs. That is not forbidden, but it is discouraged because of the issue of WP:Conflict of interest - your interest is to promote your band, ours is a neutral and reliable encyclopedia about notable subjects. Please read the Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. In summary, you should not post articles about yourself or your band directly. Use the "Draft" route, as you are now doing, so that what you write can be reviewed by an uninvolved user. The message just above this tells you that the draft has been declined, but invites you to improve it and re-submit,

Read WP:Your first article and WP:Notability for advice, and the standard for bands explained at WP:BAND. What is needed is references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" that explain how you meet the standard of WP:BAND. Do the best you can and then re-submit the draft. It will not be deleted as long as it seems to be making progress, but it will not be accepted until it meets Wikipedia's standards. Be careful not to write in a promotional tone, or make unsourced claims: what is required is not opinions, only plain facts, neutrally stated and cited to reliable sources.

More links

I promised you more links to help you write an article. Most of what you need is in the message above, but also:

• WP:Verifiability: "any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source."
• WP:Writing better articles
• User:Uncle G/On notability#Writing about subjects close to you

Speedy deletion of Draft:Twice As Good

If this was the first article that you 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.

The page Draft:Twice As Good has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appeared to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appeared to be a direct copy from https://twiceasgood.org/bio. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition has been be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, you may contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion review.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Bluesmanpaul. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:14, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
