A tag has been placed on Rick Countryman 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 or musician that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

Rick Countryman (2nd deletion)

[edit]

The second iteration was not nominated for deleted for copyright violation. It was nominated for the WP:A7 criteria of speedy deletion, which is that it did not satisfactorily demonstrate that he is notable enough for inclusion.

WP:MUSICBIO describes the notability criteria for musicians. The source you provided (Discogs) is not considered reliable because it consists of largely user-submitted content that is not fact-checked or subjected to editorial oversight. Therefore it wouldn't count towards establishing notability.

What about article x? is rarely a valid argument for retaining an article. An article's existence cannot be justified by the existence of other, similar articles. The articles you compare it to may be equally unsuitable, and just haven't been deleted yet because they have gone unnoticed. Each article must stand on its own merits.

And even though it isn't relevant in this case, I will respond to your assertion that you have the right to post your own copyrighted material here - the short answer is, you don't. You cannot post copyrighted material on Wikipedia even if you are the copyright holder, unless special licensing permissions are in place. In short, a copyright owner cannot offer Wikipedia a one-time license for use. Rather, the copyright to the material has to be releasedpermanently and irrevocably – into the public domain or under a free copyright license that is compatible with Wikipedia's licenses. This is because Wikipedia aims to be freely distributable and copyable by anyone, so all content must be licensed for that purpose. You can learn more about this policy at Wikipedia:Copyrights. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 05:06, 10 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
