Speedy deletion of Pete samples

A tag has been placed on Pete samples, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.

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 (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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Not Spam

This was a page written on relevant Canadian musician, Pete Samples. This entry did not violate section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion as it was written in accordance with Wikipedia's standards for biographies of living people, (ie. "written responsibly, conservatively, and in a neutral, encyclopedic tone"), there is no cause to delete the page.

Other musicians similar to this artist are written in much the same way:

Firstly showing me other articles doesn't impress me. See WP:OTHERSTUFF. As for the "Advertisment" There was a link directly to a site to buy the CD. And I think from memory a MySpace page and that was it for links. No WP:RS so no WP:V but blatant advertising was the call (it was previously speedied for that reason). I didn't delete it however as I am not a sysop. Sting au Buzz Me... 22:23, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was not trying to impress you by showing other articles. I was simply attempting to address the content and format of these articles and their similarity to the one that I originally wrote. There were no direct links to buy a CD in the article I wrote. One was to the artist's page on CBC Radio 3, a valued and respected Canadian radio station, another was to the artist's homepage, which does not sell albums (it does, incidentally give one away for free), and finally, there was a MySpace link. As for the previous entry that was deleted last year, I can't comment on it, as I was not responsible for posting. I will be posting the same article again, perhaps with a few minor adjustments, and hope that it remains. Thanks.

Well please take a look at WP:NOTE and when you recreate the page add a "References" section right from the start. Nothing gets a page deleted quicker than no reliable sources. Forget about MySpace pages and own websites as they do nothing for an article. You need reported in the media type references. Check WP:MUSIC for resources etc. Better luck next time, but do your homework. Sting au Buzz Me... 22:52, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
