We'd love your help. Please do read WP:MUSIC for our notability guidelines for musical groups. Also, generally it's considered a conflict of interest here (see WP:COI) to write an article about yourself in the article space. If you meet the criteria at WP:MUSIC, then someone else should be able to add an article on you. We do appreciate your contributions! Perel 16:50, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Same name question

Sorry, I'm new, but I was wondering how to add a new entry for someone of the same name as an existing entry. I'm trying to add James Mcfadden the jazz musician and tap dancer, but there is already a scottish hockey player by that name. Little help?

Hello, MarkpianoKC.

I think Wikipedia:Disambiguation would be useful to you.

Next time, try Wikipedia:Help desk if you've more questions about how to use Wikipedia.

Hope this helps.

Cheers. -- PFHLai 18:20, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your opinion would be greatly appreciated

Hello there, I am a fellow member of Wikiproject jazz. I was wondering, if you had a moment to spare, if you would be willing to give your opinion on a matter at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2007 June 15 concerning a category I created. The category is [[Category:Jazz musicians of New Orleans]], and it has been proposed that the article be merged with Musicians of New Orleans and American jazz musicians. This is precisely why I created the category, because it seemed to me the birthplace of jazz music and continous modern symbol of jazz certainly deserves a category unto itself. Regardless of your opinion, I would greatly appreciate your input there so as to have a discussion over the matter. Thanks. (Mind meal 03:24, 15 June 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Mark Lowrey

A tag has been placed on Mark Lowrey 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, but it does not 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} 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 hangon 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.
