[edit] Speedy deletion of Satan's juice
A tag has been placed on Satan's juice 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, 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 indicate the subject's importance or significance 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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Oore (talk) 02:04, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] May 2008
Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from pages that you have created yourself, as you did with Satan's juice. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, then please place {{hangon}} on the page (please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag) and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Oore (talk) 17:18, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Please stop. If you continue to introduce inappropriate pages to Wikipedia, such as Satan's juice, you will be blocked from editing. NawlinWiki (talk) 16:06, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia and the articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits. Readers looking for serious articles will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, try the sandbox, where you can write (almost) whatever you want.

[edit] Repeated deleting of article "Satan's Juice"
I'm not quite sure whether or not this is the right place to post this complaint, but here goes: I recently created a wikipedia account so that I could make a wikipedia page for my band Satan's Juice, however, it has repeatedly been deleted by the "wikipedia authorities" (one of whom, I assume, you are). I do not understand this. Everything written in that article, though perhaps exaggerated in some places, can be confirmed by the band's members. On top of this, as you may have noted from the sheer length of the article that has now been deleted, much time and energy has been invested in its creation. Therefore, I would ask you consider leaving the article on your site, or, if you are not able to help me, redirect me to the right person, or, if you maintain that the "Satan's Juice" article should not be considered wikipedia-worthy material, please respond on my "talk-page" (I'm not sure where that is) and state your reasons to this effect.

- Hi Hari iyer44,
-
- First of, my compliments for the very civil reaction here. You don't want to know how many people run in here with a lot less civil text. As for your question: First, im not a wikipedia authority; Wikipedia is community run and im just a normal user like you, who happens to do maintenance work; The real article removal is handled by the admins, which are community appointed users from all around the world.
-
- As for the removal, from empirical experience i am afraid the article has very little chance to stick around. To be on wikipedia an article needs to comply to certain guidelines, which are Notability and Verifiability. The first one, notability, can be summed up as: To be on Wikipedia, an articles subject must have a claim why its important enough to be in an encyclopedia. For example: an article about Google is notable because its the worlds biggest search engine; An article about me is not notable, simply because i have no special importance.
-
- The second ruling, Verifiability, puts that any notability claims must be sourced by independent reliable third party sources such as newspapers, books and TV programs. A special subpart of that rule is that any subject that received attention in three of those sources is automatically notable.
-
- What does this mean for your article? Have a look at WP:MUSIC, which contains requirements for articles about musical performers. If you can meet those requirements, make sure they are covered in the article. If you do so, the article won't be removed. Please know that sourcing from band members or pages as myspace aren't proper sourcing.
