Welcome!

Hello, Ms.Sharon T, 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, such as Set It Off (Strafe), may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

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.

A tag has been placed on Set It Off (Strafe) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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.

Please note that just asserting permission to reproduce is not enough. Also, even if the copyright issue were resolved, the promotional tone of a company or personal website is likely to be unsuitable for an encyclopedia article, which requires a neutral point of view. Article subjects need to have notability, which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." There is more detail at WP:Notability (people) and for musical performers WP:MUSICBIO, and good advice on how to write an acceptable article at WP:Your first article.

More advice

edit

I'll copy here what I wrote on my talk page, which gets archived fairly quickly.

I'm afraid you have not understood what Wikipedia is. It is not another site like Facebook or Myspace for people to post their own promotional bios; it is a project to build an encyclopedia, which is something quite different. See User:JohnCD/Not a noticeboard.
As you represent Strafe, you have from our point of view a conflict of interest in writing about him - see WP:Autobiography for why that is strongly discouraged and WP:BESTCOI for the restrictions you would need to observe if you want to proceed. More advice on your talk page later; meanwhile look at WP:Your first article.
The Facebook reference is because the same information appears on that Facebook page labelled "Facebook © 2011". Copyright can give Wikipedia serious legal problems; we cannot accept copyright text on the basis that someone on the end of a wire says it's OK. It is necessary for the copyright holder to make a formal release as described at WP:Donating copyrighted materials. But that is not usually worth doing because material written for other purposes is usually too promotional and doesn't show the necessary significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. (In fact the copyright symbol on the page is unimportant; anything published has to be assumed to be copyright unless explicitly declared to be public-domain or released under an appropriate license).

Another thing I should add: you need to understand that you will not own any article you submit, other people can and will edit it, you will not be able to insist on your preferred version, and you may encounter Wikipedia's Law of Unintended Consequences.

If you want to proceed, what you should do is:
