Speedy deletion nomination of The Greeting Committee

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on The Greeting Committee 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

  Welcome to Wikipedia. A page you recently created, The Greeting Committee, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages, so it will be removed shortly (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests, and consider using the Article Wizard. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article. You may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. Blackguard 20:02, 11 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

I'll try and explain the problem. Wikipedia is a collaborative process. That means when you create an article, others can improve it and add to it further. The trouble is, if you don't have any good sources or chart positions, it's hard for anyone to be able to expand an existing stub on a band article as nobody can check the information is accurate and neutral. We get a lot of new band articles all the time, so we have come up with strict criteria so that only those who have a chance to be written about by anybody, especially someone who has never heard the band, can generally have an article. For what it's worth, I've played in bands for many years, but if I tried to create an article about any of them, they would probably meet the same fate as this one. Sorry.
