Speedy deletion nomination of Matt Dahlberg edit
You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.
Thank you.
A tag has been placed on Matt Dahlberg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Yworo (talk) 05:24, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
- Links to event notices are not sufficient to establish notability. Also, notability is not inherited, that is, playing with other notable musicians does not make a musician notable, which seems to be the only argument you have presented so far. What you need are 1) details of released albums and 2) reviews of published music and/or concerts in reliable sources. Please see our music biography notability requirements. Also, please don't repost the article or post on the article talk page after it has been deleted. If you think you have the required sources, you can create an article in your user space and if it meets criteria it can then be moved into place. Feel free to contact me on my talk page if you need any assistance with this. Yworo (talk) 22:22, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
