Speedy deletion nomination of Bad Panda Records[edit]

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 Bad Panda Records, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

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. 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. WuhWuzDat 03:59, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Why?[edit]

I choose to delete your page after I deleted the long quote at the bottom of the page which cam verbatim from the website. The site was copyrighted, and I realized that when the quote was removed from the article the remain content did no sufficiently cover the label to establish notability as per our guidelines here. This, coupled with the lack of independent sources in the article, resulted in my decision to delete the article rather than have it remain on the site. You are welcome to publish the material here again, but note that the recreation of previously deleted material is grounds for speedy deletion, so any attempt you make to recreate the article must result in a superior version of the article or it will be axed again. Alternatively, if you would like to work on improving the article in your userspace, I can provide you with a copy of the deleted article if you like.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, your account has been blocked; you are welcome to create a new account with a username that represents only you. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice. Thank you. 7 05:12, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
