As you previously noticed, someone marked the Gunnlaugur Lárusson article for deletion. But we are able to keep this article because it passes our Notability and Music Guidelines. Brain Police, has had a Top 100 hit on any national music chart, in a large or medium-sized country.
However, please read Wikipedia:Autobiography. Many users here on Wikipedia feel strongly that you should not create or edit an article about yourself, your band, or your songs. Those that do write articles about themselves usually get into disputes about the significance, factual accuracy, and neutrality of material on subjects in which they are personally involved in. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 04:43, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
- Wikipedia's Notability and Music Guidelines and Wikipedia:Autobiography are two separate policies. I mentioned the autobiography guidelines just because you basically created an article about yourself. But feel free to write about other bands, singers, songs, albums and musicians. Thanks.

Unreferenced BLPs
[edit] Hello Laugurinn! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created are Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to these articles, it would greatly help us with the current 736 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:
