I took the liberty of moving Paul Olstad to your user page, since your autobiography looks more appropriate as a user page. Also, you might want to read up on the following (and a welcome, too):

Git Groove Project

I would have tagged this for speedy deletion, but I'm feeling nice today so I thought I'd drop you a note instead. As stand this article is an obvious speedy delete candidate; an article about a recording that makes no claim for notability and where the artit does not (yet) have an article. I'd suggest that crating an article on the artiste is a better starting point.TheLongTone (talk) 12:52, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

But this album is notable in that it's getting thousands of plays on spotify, apple music, youtube, etc. And I will also be creating an artist page soon. I've just started this - please don't delete it. Olstap (talk) 13:17, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Git Groove Project

If this is the first article that you have 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.

Hello. A tag has been placed on Git Groove Project requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a musical recording which does not indicate why its subject is important or significant, and where the artist's article has never existed, has been deleted or is eligible for deletion itself. 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 guideline for music.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. noq (talk) 14:15, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Olstap. 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 COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. TJRC (talk) 20:56, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
