Speedy deletion nomination of Distributor (band) edit

 

A tag has been placed on Distributor (band) 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.

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.

Re your message: In order for the band's article to remain on Wikipedia, you would need to establish why the band is notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia per the notability guidelines for musical acts. For example, the band would be notable if they had a hit single or album that made a national music chart or had multiple reviews from independent sources. Since the band has yet to release their album, it is not likely that the band will meet the requirements. However, when they do release their album, hopefully it will become a hit and then the band will be notable enough for Wikipedia. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 00:24, 19 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
Re your message: Probably not, unless there was significant news coverage of either event. What really will set their notability will be the results of their album release. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 02:34, 19 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
Re your request on my talk page; I apologize for the long reply time. I've been on WP:BREAK. It appears you were able to get the article recreated, but if you ahve any other questions feel free to ask me. ffm 22:44, 30 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Distributor (band) edit

 

The article Distributor (band) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No indication of how this might meet notability guidelines. Lacks citations to significant coverage in reliable sources.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. RadioFan (talk) 18:12, 14 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
