Speedy deletion nomination of Haze, The Backpacker

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 Haze, The Backpacker 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Click here to 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.

Hi Haze. Please read over our notability criteria for bands and musicians to better understand our criteria for inclusion here. Wikipedia does have policies on what is appropriate in terms of article content, and simply showing proof of existence is not sufficient on its own.

Also, read Wikipedia is not about YOU and WP:Autobiography for the reasons why in any case you should not write about yourself here. There are plenty of sites like Facebook, Reverbnation, Youtube, Myspace... where you can do that, but Wikipedia is different, a project to build an encyclopedia, not a place for people to tell the world about themselves.
