Please note that Wikipedia has actual rules about how an article is to be written, formatted and referenced; your article met none of them. You can try writing a proper article in your own sandbox space (i.e. at User:Dierubix/Beats), but you need to note the following:

  1. You still have not yet provided a single reference which actually demonstrates that "beats" is considered a distinct genre of music, as opposed to simply being the very same thing the word has already meant in hip hop and techno and other electronic music for the past 20+ years (i.e. the rhythmic element within a song whose genre is still hip hop or electronica or industrial death metal or techno or whatever.)
  2. You cannot link to artists' or record labels' own promotional Myspace/web pages in lieu of a Wikipedia article; Wikipedia does not exist for the purpose of creating a web directory or manipulating search engine statistics. Links in the article body are to be internal links to Wikipedia articles only; if the person or the label doesn't have a Wikipedia article to link to, they do not get to substitute an offsite link to their Myspace instead.
  3. You cannot simply overwrite an existing article or redirect with a new topic, either. If and when you've actually written a properly keepable article at the sandbox page I linked for you above, it can then be moved to a title that doesn't conflict with existing content about other things.
  4. If you have real references that can be added, then they belong in the article, not on the talk pages of administrators that you have beef with. Any article can be deleted at any time if there aren't legitimate references in the article itself.
  5. Considering that one of the label web pages you linked to in your original attempt at an article contained a video by an artist named Dierubix, you might want to familiarize yourself with Wikipedia's conflict of interest policy as well. It's not that you can't contribute to an article about a topic in which you have a personal investment — but you need to be very careful and very above board in how you do it.

Long story short, your original version was essentially an advertisement, not a neutral, properly written and properly referenced encyclopedia article. An article like that is not entitled to permanent inclusion in Wikipedia — if it doesn't meet our rules, then it doesn't get to be here. Bearcat (talk) 09:12, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
