- Hiya, thanks for pointing me to that, would it be ok to start again once it's deleted/edit the page? --Listeel 17:46, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
Vigilante (band) article
editI'm not sure you're checking the AfD (WP:AFD page about the article, so I'm going to reiterate here: content found on websites unless explicitely stated that it can be distributed freely should not be reproduced on Wikipedia, as it's a copyright violation. Check Wikipedia:Copyright FAQ, WP:COPYRIGHT, WP:FAIR for related policies and guidelines.
You may also want to have a look at WP:BAND which outlines notability criteria for bands and inclusion thereof in Wikipedia. Also check WP:NN for more general issues regarding notability. Last but not least, you may want to learn about other policies : WP:POL.
I'm also going to answer your question above, you don't need to wait for deletion of the article to start over. In fact, if you were to fix the problem while the article is listed for AfD and pointed it out on the AfD page, chances are that people would alter their "vote". However, it would seem that this band is not meeting criteria outlined in WP:BAND, on top of the copyright issue, and the only way to fix *that* is for the band to become "notable" first. Also keep in mind that an article that was deleted through the AfD procedure usually ends up speedy deleted again if recreated (see WP:CSD). The proper channel to get an article "undeleted" is explained here : Wikipedia:Deletion review though you'd better have a convincing reason.
Being new to wikipedia can be a little tough, I hope you will adapt and enjoy being an editor :) Equendil Talk 02:26, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Neurosphere (movie)
editA {{prod}} template has been added to the article Neurosphere (movie), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. Fredrick day 22:37, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
