Speedy deletion of FAQ new articles[edit]

A tag has been placed on FAQ new articles 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.

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 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.

Notability of Dorset Bach Cantata Club[edit]

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Dorset Bach Cantata Club, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Dorset Bach Cantata Club seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Dorset Bach Cantata Club, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Reply[edit]

Well, if you want to recreate that page, you are more than welcome to and I will not delete it. However, even if you do release that content under the GFDL, I can practically guarantee that your article will be nominated for speedy deletion because I really doubt it meets the notability requirements. (It might, but I'm not very confidant it does) My apologies for not getting back to you sooner too. I didn't see your first message until now. :/ Thingg ^⊕^⊗ 02:54, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding or significantly changing content without citing a reliable source, as you did with this edit to Nick Davies, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. W4chris (talk) 20:43, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

April 2013[edit]

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Charmouth. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

Dear Bob

I don't fully understand the scope of editing users. You have rejected my amendments to the Charmouth pages. I have lived here quite a while. What I wrote was accurate and true. Could you please tell me, why, on your own discussion pages, you regard my comments as spam?

Clearly there is a need to control the commercial sector trying to influence entries. I know that the Charmouth Portal site is set up by Charmouth Traders. I also know that Charmouth History is controlled by an independent historian who is also a businessman in Somerset.

I appreciate that there has to be a primary defence against unacceptable posts. I would invite you to look further.

Setting all that aside, the information available on these websites, and two dozen others which I have reviewed - again without commercial motive - is accurate, useful and well presented.

If you find it easier, you could email me on russelltelfer@dorsetbach.org.uk

You say you loathe spam. I also loathe spam, have never sent any, and had my first email account ruined by over 200,000 spam emails, including some from my account, over 3 years before I abandoned it. Round the turn of the century.

The only type of spam that I like

I loathe spam and have occasional burst of anti-spam activities removing multiple copies of the same spam external link from a number articles. My home county of Somerset isn't too bad, due to a great bunch of people in the Somerset Wikiproject, but my neighbouring counties of Dorset, Devon, Cornwall etc are terrible and ripe for a good pruning. Please understand that it's not personal if I delete your pet link, it's good wikipractice - see WP:ELNO. If you are a website owner upset at me removing your link then I have no sympathy - go read WP:COI. As you will see from the award below, some people do appreciate my anti-spam efforts.

I'm always happy to admit when I am (partially) wrong. The portal has no place on Wikipedia, but having looked at the history site I think it has a significant amount of content which adds value to the article - and it easily passes the FA test at WP:ELNO. I reinstated the history link in the external links section with a fixed URL. Thanks for prompting me to take a better look. --Bob Re-born (talk) 20:50, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Dorset Bach Cantata Club[edit]

The article Dorset Bach Cantata Club has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non notable local choir, fails WP:GNG

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
