Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears that your article Embracing (SWE band) is about your own band. Wikipedia is not a place to promote your band--see the guidelines on notability for criteria on bands and musicians, and the guidelines on self-promotion for why we don't accept autobiographical articles.

Embracing (band)[edit]

Hey there, for any band to get an article in Wikipedia, it must be notable enough and the article must assert how it is notable. Please see WP:MUSIC#Criteria for musicians and ensembles for what must be the criteria to get an article.

In short, if there is some media coverage (in reliable third party sources; blogs and forums are not counted), then the article would be fine, provided you link to the media articles (see WP:CITE for how to cite these sources.

However, since it is your band, there is a conflict of interest which means you cannot create an article about your band. It is suggested to let others decide if the band is notable and create it. You can request that an article be created to draw others' attention. You are also strongly suggested not to edit that article once it has been created (except for, may be, obvious vandalism or simple factual mistakes). All the best. --soum talk 12:25, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
