I was hoping you might be willing to fill in some of the redlinks of that band-stub you just wrote. Where did you get the information for the article? Did that band ever tour, to your knowledge,or release any CD's? Were they signed to a recording contract/label? It's good to have bands that may have spawned famous members mentioned in WP (it may be the only time anyone ever reads about them outside of their town), but there are certain criteria at [[1]] that bands must meet as a standard. I'll watch this page for citations, but if none are forthcoming in say, the next 24 hours, I'll have to tag it for deletion. Unless someone else does it first, which is a possibility. Hope you understand the logic of minimum criteria though! See ya 'round! Hamster Sandwich 04:43, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Family of Free Love
[edit]A tag has been placed on Family of Free Love 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, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance 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 musical topics.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. - -[The Spooky One] | [t c r] 04:34, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of Tristan Moyer
[edit]A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Tristan Moyer, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

A tag has been placed on Captain Go requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

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.

The article Captain Go has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Non notable band. Deprodded for having notable members, but the band doesn't seem to have done anything of note. "Marty Crandall" + "Captain Go" turns up nothing on Google that isn't a Wikipedia mirror.
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}}
