Speedy deletion nomination of Teddy Bear (EP)
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/1d/Information_icon4.svg/48px-Information_icon4.svg.png)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Teddy Bear (EP) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a musical recording which does not indicate why its subject is important or significant, and where the artist's article has never existed, has been deleted or is eligible for deletion itself. 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 music.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Throwing Stones
[edit]Hello! Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for creating the article Throwing Stones (Grateful Dead song). But, an editor has suggested that the new article be merged into the article In the Dark (Grateful Dead album). They are saying that the song "Throwing Stones" may not meet the Wikipedia guidelines for notability. On Wikipedia, "notability" (or "notable") has a special meaning. Basically, it means that the subject has received significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. The subject, no matter how worthwhile in itself, must be "notable" in this sense to have its own article. Notability is shown by the article having appropriate references as footnotes. You can read a lot more about all this at WP:GNG (in general) and at WP:NSONG (for songs). There's a discussion about the new article at Talk:In the Dark (Grateful Dead album)#Proposed merge with Throwing Stones (Grateful Dead song), and you can join in there if you like. (If you reply here, I will see what you say). — Mudwater (Talk) 11:55, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

Europe '72 individual albums
[edit]Hello! I noticed that you've created an article for Europe '72: Wembley Empire Pool, London, England (4/7/1972). But, I'm not sure that the individual concert albums from the box set Europe '72: The Complete Recordings meet the Wikipedia criteria for notability. As I mentioned above, that means that the subject has received significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. You can read about this in quite a bit of detail at WP:GNG (in general) and WP:NALBUM (for albums). Because of that, it's possible that another editor will end up nominating that article, and any similar articles, for deletion. So, you might want to hold off on spending a lot of time on creating similar articles. Just a suggestion. (If you reply here, I will see what you say.) — Mudwater (Talk) 00:14, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
Dave's Picks Volume 21
[edit]Hello! Feel free to add songwriting credits to the Dave's Picks Volume 21 article if you want to. It's okay for some songs to have them and some not, more can always be added later. I've just added the ones for disc 1 myself. If you're not sure who wrote some of the songs, a good reference for that is the "Songs Recorded by the Grateful Dead" page at deaddisc.com (click on "info" to see the information about a particular song). And if you want formatting tips you can refer to MOS:ALBUM#Track listing. Another possible fun project: Find song articles to link to. Some are there ("Promised Land", "Beat It On Down the Line", "Box of Rain") and some aren't. — Mudwater (Talk) 23:40, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
February 2017
[edit] Hello, I'm Serols. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to Warner Bros. Records— because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Dave's Picks Volume 22
[edit]Greetings, BruinsFan24. Thanks for creating the Dave's Picks Volume 22 article. I do have one suggestion for you: When creating new articles, it's much better if you include several references, in the form of footnotes, to establish that the subject of the article -- whether it's a Grateful Dead album, or anything else -- meets the Wikipedia general notability guideline: "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list." In other words, any article should have a few third-party references to show that the subject has been written about enough so that it qualifies to have its own Wikipedia article. For Dave's Picks Volume 22, that's been taken care of, here and here, but I'd say keep it in mind for future reference, pun intended. (If you reply here, I will see what you say.) — Mudwater (Talk) 00:11, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
- Yes, it's all about the references, in my view. You can find them using Google or another search engine. Because if you create an article and you don't include any references, then it's quite possible that someone will nominate the article for deletion, on the basis that the subject of the article does not meet the general notability guideline. Just a friendly suggestion. P.S. Looking at this part of the Wikipedia Manual of Style, the article "That's It For The Other One" should be renamed to "That's It for the Other One", with a lower case "for" and "the". — Mudwater (Talk) 00:56, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
Thanks. You do a lot of grateful dead stuff! TerrapinStation24 (talk) 03:05, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
- By the way, if you haven't seen it already, check out the Wikipedia:Tutorial, it's a really good overview. — Mudwater (Talk) 01:49, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for April 16
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited A Live One, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Junta. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
