discord.py preventing deletion of messages containing #start

so in the bot I'm making there's a loop which deletes any messages that don't say #start in a specific time. But I want it to delete any messages which contain '#start' AND anything else. So if I were to send #start on a discord server, the bot wouldn't delete it, but if I were to send a message that says #start testing it would delete the message. I'm not sure how to do this. This is what I've come up with:
while hour >= 12 and hour < 14:
msg = await bot.wait_for_message(timeout=1, author=message.author)
if "#start" not in msg.content:
await bot.delete_message(msg)
hour = int(time.strftime("%H"))
It says that msg doesn't have an attribute called content even though I can use it if i'm writing a message to a csv file. So any ideas? I'm all ears

if msg and "#start" not in msg.content, because sometimesmsgwill beNone.

well that solved the second problem of me not knowing how to do msg.content. But the initial problem was in the first paragraph. I want messages that only say `"#start" in with no words afterwards, to not be deleted. Whilst any other messages are deleted.

if msg and '#start' != msg.content:. This will check thatmsgis notNoneand that it is not exactly '#Start'. All other messages will be deleted.
