Hi. I got your note about the deletion of this article. I appreciate your reading over the guidelines, and I'm sorry if the band does not meet them. I did want to clarify for future reference that the article was deleted because it did not assert notability for the band. Since Wikipedia gets many, many new articles every day and details can sometimes be difficult to trace, consensus has created a basic criterion that certain types of articles must at least explain what makes their subjects notable for inclusion. I wanted to point this out, because it can be an important distinction if you plan to write additional articles about bands, people, businesses or websites. :) An article about Hatebreed itself could be deleted under that policy if it wasn't evident why the band should be notable. If you're interested in music, maybe you'd like to join us at Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums or head over to Wikipedia:WikiProject Rock music. I myself have been picking material off of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/List of notable albums to write articles about (guidelines are at Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums). I don't always work on the kind of music I'd listen to (for instance, Mountain Music), but I've learned a lot and it's fun. :) In any event, thanks for contributing. Please don't let your first experience discourage you. --Moonriddengirl 19:11, 29 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
