Speedy deletion nomination of The Hu-Hunt & Leprafingers
[edit]A tag has been placed on The Hu-Hunt & Leprafingers 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Pass juself for araben
[edit]A tag has been placed on Pass juself for araben, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

Your comment
[edit]Please be civil. I did you a favor by copying your comment in favor of retaining the article to the article's talkpage (where it will be seen) from your own talkpage (where it likely won't). As to the article, as you said, the band is "up-and-coming," but you give no evidence that it would be notable under the relevant guideline WP:BAND. Wikipedia isn't the place to promote new, local, up-and-coming bands; it's an encyclopedia that should contain only bands sufficiently notable to warrant inclusion in a project of global scope. There's a special speedy-deletion criterion for non-notable bands precisely because so many people try to use Wikipedia to promote them (and non-notable rappers, etc.). If you ca npoint to significant coverage of your band in independent reliable sources, that'll be a different story. I hope this helps-- Glenfarclas (talk) 00:07, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
