Speedy deletion nomination of Katja Avdeeva edit

 

A tag has been placed on Katja Avdeeva requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. 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 musical topics. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 23:30, 8 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

November 2009 edit

  Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Katja Avdeeva. Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 01:12, 9 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop removing speedy deletion notices from pages that you have created yourself. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. We mean it! Stop removing the speedy-delete marker. Let and administrator decide whether the article stays or goes. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 01:17, 9 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

  This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
The next time you remove a speedy deletion notice from a page you have created yourself, as you did with Katja Avdeeva, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. You are now in immediate danger of having your privilege to edit Wikipedia revoked. Pleae follow the proper procedure for disputing a speedy deletion. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 01:41, 9 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

What you are doing wrong is removing the speedy-deletion notice at the beginning of the article. As the original author of the article, you are not allowed to do this, and if you do so repeatedly, you will be blocked from editing, possibly permanently. Instead, you need to post a message on the talk page for the article, stating why you believe that this person is notable enough to have an article about her. Please bear in mind that she must meet Wikipedia standards for notability of musicians. In my opinion, she does not, which is why I posted the speedy-delete notice, which directs an administrator to examine the article and delete it if he or she agrees, or otherwise let it stay. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 01:50, 9 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
No it's not enough. If she wins a major music competition (one that already has its own Wikipedia article, generally) or is otherwise recognized by independent sources, then she might me. But there's nothing independent that I can find on her that would satisfy our requirements. Sorry. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 02:12, 9 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Katja Avdeeva edit

 

The article Katja Avdeeva has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Artist does not meet notability standards for musicians. Impossible to verify, because the references provided either do not discuss the artist directly, or are not in English. No major prizes at competitions, no independetn coverage to speak of.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 04:46, 9 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Katja Avdeeva edit

 

A tag has been placed on Katja Avdeeva 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 blatant 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 {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), 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.
