Speedy deletion nomination of Gareth Peter Dicks[edit]

A tag has been placed on Gareth Peter Dicks requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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), 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. ttonyb (talk) 21:49, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Gareth Peter Dicks[edit]

A tag has been placed on Gareth Peter Dicks 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 person or group of people, 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 biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

RE:Gareth Peter Dicks[edit]

Hi, First of all generally you must not start an article about your self. But if you think you can meet the Notability standers on wikipedia regarding persons, this article maybe kept. and keep in mind that wikipeida is NOT a directory to list your self in MaenK.A._Talk 22:49, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please carefully read Wikipedia:Notability (people) before writing a new article about a person. Because you are so closely related to this article, you might find it difficult to remain neutral and objective. Why not wait for your fan base to start the article. It may be less instantaneous, but it will certainly be more gratifying. Iftelse (talk) 23:19, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I really appriciate your help guys. Thank you. I have read over your rules and have tried to be an outsider in writing it so really hope you are happy. It actually came about because of the fans actually as some commented that there was nothing on here about my, so thats why I started do this. I really am not an arrogant person, so sorry if it seemed that way. I am most excted to be a part of your site. Best wishes, G

You are most welcome. Thank you so much for being understanding, and for having the ability to understand that these polices are general and not directed against you. We will be happy too if you join us, and start contributing to articles. No matter what are your interests Wikipedia will be a place that you will like. Please feel free to ask me any question, and contact me if you want any help regarding any issue. Enjoy editing and remember signing your posts on talk pages with these ~~~~.

Thank you very much for your kind reply. I have since had this page delated now. So I would very much like your help in making sure that I can post a page up, sir. I have been composing for many years and two of my professional albums are selling in four countries around the world - Escape and Bluebird. The latter has an amazing UK West End cast including people from BBC TV programmes and Ramin Karimloo who is in the New Andrew Lloyd Webber Musical - he is big news. It is sold on Amazon and Itunes. I have also had songs played on national BBC radio and performed in conerts in London. I have also had my works performed around the country and won am Award 'cheshire Theatre Guild Award' for a production with musical content. I also have a fab page on Facebook and had 36,000 people view my website when it lauched last year. Bluebird was also a best seller at the Dress Cricle shop in london, which is the biggest Musical Theatre shop in the world. Reviews have appear in publications around the globe (such as Musical Stage and The Stage). I hope this qualifys for a wiki page about myself. Do you agree???? I was asked to complie it by fans who wanted to know some more about me, and it's something they can update also. So please, please help me set up a page so i make sure I can keep it from getting deleted. ANY help is greatly appriciated. Best wishes, Gareth Broadwayschool (talk) 12:47, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
