Adding info about your band[edit]

Hi,

Please don't add information about your band to the Lagori article. It is about the game and any article about the band should have a title like Lagori (Band). That said, for a band to have an article in wikipedia, it should meed the notability criteria listed here - WP:NBAND. Also in this case it is clear you are representing Lagori and make sure you read our conflict of interest guidelines before you add anything about your band.

let me know if you have any doubts on this issue.--Sodabottle (talk) 10:58, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Creating an article[edit]

Hello lagori,

For guidelines on creating a new article, read this page: Wikipedia:Your first article. This page is pretty much exhaustive and is covers everything you need to know about creating the article.

Ideally the title of the article should be "Lagori (band)". You can create the article by clicking on the red colour link that shows in the previous line. But the most important things to remember are

  1. Not all bands are allowed to have articles in Wikipedia. The minimum notability criteria a band should meet to have an article in wikipedi is listed at WP:NBAND. Go through it and determine if your band meets them. If it doesn't meet the criteria, someone might delete your article
  2. From your username, i assume you are one of the band members or associated with the band. That means you have a conflict of interest (too close to the subject). Read the conflict of interest guidelines to avoid the "don'ts" in such situations.

As you might be thinking by now, wikipedia rules are a bit complex and confusing. Be patient and you will figure them out quickly. Let me know if you run into problems.--Sodabottle (talk) 11:15, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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 Lagori Band 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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Cameron Scott (talk) 12:20, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
