A summary of some guidelines you may find useful[edit]

Always cite a source for any new information, using <ref>reference tags like this</ref>, containing the name of the source, the author, page number, publisher or web address (if applicable).
"Truth" is not the criteria for inclusion, verifiability is.
We do not publish original thought.
A subject is considered notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.
Reliable sources typically include: articles from magazines or newspapers (particularly scholarly journals), or books by recognized authors (basically, books by respected publishers). Online versions of these are usually accepted, provided they're held to the same standards. User generated sources (like Wikipedia) are to be avoided. Self-published sources should be avoided except for information by and about the subject that is not self-serving (for example, citing a company's website to establish something like year of establishment).

Proposed deletion of Pulse (Thomas Giles album)[edit]

The article Pulse (Thomas Giles album) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No evidence of notability

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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Sleep Shake[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 Sleep Shake requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a musical recording which does not indicate why its subject is important or significant, and where the artist's article has never existed, has been deleted or is eligible for deletion itself. 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 music.

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.

The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues[edit]

On Wikipedia it's undesirable to have articles on a specific topic that cannot be expanded upon beyond a stub-class article for an extended period of time. For album articles, the rule of thumb for that an upcoming album is to wait until either you can properly source the title, release date and track listing OR there's enough information out there to write a lengthy and well detailed article. Also, no article is exempt from the general notability guidelines. At this moment in time none of these criteria apply to The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues. Because the title has been officially confirmed, it makes sense to keep this page as a redirect to aid searching instead of fully deleting the article. See WP:CRYSTALBALL for our policy on article for future events and WP:NALBUMS for the guidelines specifically tailored to album articles.

However, this does not mean you cannot continue to develop the article in the meantime. If you would like, you can start an article under your username such as User:Btbam1122/Hypersleep Dialogues and build the article behind the scenes, in a sense. Once the album meets the given guidelines, it can easily be moved to Wikipedia's mainspace. Until then, please refrain from continuing to recreate this article. Thank you.
