Speedy deletion of Umlaut (band) edit
A tag has been placed on Umlaut (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, 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. Clubmarx (talk) 03:29, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
- Hi, I saw your post on User:James086's talk page and I wanted to shed some light as to why your article was deleted. Wikipedia currently has standard on its subjects regarding their notability, especially bands. Bands who are to be considered notable must conform to WP:BAND. I understand many users who try to attempt to create an article will create an incomplete article and perhaps continue the article building later on, perhaps further research in grabbing sources or what not. Unfortunately, your article was deleted before you had a chance to assert notability. My advice to you is to follow the steps of WP:SANDBOX and create your own sandbox in your userspace, like User:Jamessarley/Umlaut (band). Articles in the regular Wikipedia ("mainspace") are reviewed and patrolled by a panel of editors 24/7 the moment the article is created. Your article was deleted under the WP:CSD#A7 category, which was an article about a band/musical group which did not assert proper notability or importance. If you start the article about your band in your your "userspace" as I have linked, you may keep working on that article until the article can satisfy proper Wikipedia guidelines and policies. Once you've reached that point you are free to take the code and paste it into a new article in the mainspace. If you require further assistance, please feel free to ask me on my talk page. Also, a comprehensive list of key Wikipedia policies and guidelines are located near the top right corner of my userpage, under "Useful Links". Have a great day! - Jameson L.
