Welcome!

Hello, DavidURichards, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Rage Addicts, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of Rage Addicts

A tag has been placed on Rage Addicts 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 club, 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guidelines for people and for organizations. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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:

editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. Tikiwont (talk) 19:58, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately for you, this isn't myspace where you can easily publish a profile of your own band. (Please review also the post above.) Entries should adhere to the standards of our notability guideline for bands and I had to delete yours because it doesn't even get close. I can only suggest to wait for your own fans to start an encyclopedic entry once the time is ripe and other editors will surely be helpful. Meanwhile you're most welcome to stick around and edit some articles on music that you like. Good luck anyways.--Tikiwont (talk) 18:14, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rage Addicts

Hey there. In order for a topic to be suitable for inclusion on Wikipedia, it must be notable - in general, that means it must have significant coverage in third party sources unrelated to the topic itself. For your band, this basically means you have to have released a record with a record label, or got substantial radio play nationwide. For full details on our notability guidelines, read Wikipedia:Notability - as well as Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:Reliable sources. Remember, Wikipedia is not here to advertise and help make your band popular. Instead, it's here to document it once it's already popular. If you have any other questions, let me know on my talk page! Ale_Jrb ^talk 22:28, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
