• Basically, you first want to decide whether the band is notable enough to be included in an encyclopedia. See WP:BAND for more information. Then, just make the article, making sure to assert WHY the band is notable under wikipedia's criteris for bands, and there you go. Others will help you along the way with any problems.

Bands

Hi there: i have left your latest request untouched, although I would bet money that someone will tag it for deletion. To answer your question; wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Articles accepted for inclusion must be about significant, important, meaningful or educational topics. A band which has made a name for itself in terms of hit records, television appearances, major gigs and so forth is regarded as notable. Others are not. If you feel that your band is worthy of an article, then within the body of the article the reason for the band's notability should be stated. That's the best answer I can give.--Anthony.bradbury 23:45, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

• The notability guideline mentioned above is what should be followed to make sure the band can be included. If there are not external sources that attest to the band's notability, the article should not be posted to Wikipedia. The tutorials and how-to's in the Welcome message above have information on how to write articles in general, like layout, format, editting, etc. —Centrx→talk • 23:48, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Using talk pages

Also, it's not a good idea to put discussions into the article space, such as Black Lotus Coven. That's why we have talk pages, specifically for discussing things. THIS is a talk page, for example. See WP:TALK if you want to find out more. (|-- UlTiMuS 23:47, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
