Hello - thanks for the message. On April 17, the article was reported to Wikipedia:Copyright problems as a copyright violation. I investigated and found the allegations to be true.
The article was copied from several Yamaha sites and manuals, including here, here, here, and this page, among several others. There was not a clean version (free of copyrighted material) in the article's history, so I was left with no choice but to delete the article and start over.
For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
Also, it is not a good idea to leave your email address anywhere on Wikipedia, as the entire site is crawled by
Google and can remain available in Google's cache indefinitely. I've removed your email address from my talk page. Instead, when you post to user talk and article talk pages, you should
sign your posts by typing four
tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when.
Thanks again for the message. Happy editing - Krakatoa Katie 22:45, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi Strideman! Welcome to Wikipedia!
Be bold in editing pages and don't let others scare you off! To sign your posts (on talk pages, for example) use ~~~~ (four tildes). This will insert your name and timestamp.

I hope you stick around and keep contributing to Wikipedia. If you need help, you can drop a note on
my talk page or use
Wikipedia:New contributors' help page. You can also type {{helpme}}
on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia! -

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a
conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's
neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to
Yamaha Artist Services, Inc.. While
objective prose about products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be
a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Thank you.

The article Yamaha Artist has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Not a notable concept - cannot find evidence of notability separate from Yamaha as a company.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion. —
