The Van Jets
[edit]Hi Wppds. Sorry it has taken me a few days to get back to you. I have had a busy week.
The article that I deleted contained only "Absynthe Minded is a Belgian band" followed by the first names of the Van Jets and the instruments that they play, so it wasn't really much of an article. I have no problem if you want to write an article on the band, because I think that they probably are notable—the original article was deleted because it didn't assert the band's notability, which is a different thing. Wikipedia:Notability (music) is the guideline by which bands tend to be judged on Wikipedia, so you might want to take a look at that. Let me know if you have any questions or need any help. Best wishes, Rje (talk) 10:50, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
