Speedy delete...Want to know why... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Slmusicfan (talk • contribs)

What article would you like to know about the speedy deletion of? Algebraist 10:15, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello there. You asked the same question on my talk page, so you already know why: if you create a biography page without references and without expressing a claim to notability, it will be speedily deleted. Again, I would direct you to the WP:N and WP:MUSIC pages for a discussion of what is notability, and to WP:CS and WP:RS for suggestions on how to demonstrate it. --Nehwyn (talk) 10:53, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Please note that the things that Nehwyn mentioned are not reasons to speedily delete an article, although they are all valid delete reasons. You can find the reasons for speedy deletion here.

I would imagine that your article probably fell under the criterion A7, "no indication of importance". If you have the exact name of where the article was, you can check it yourself. - Revolving Bugbear 12:02, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Apologies, I didn't read the reasons here, only on Nehwyn's talk page. What Nehwyn has listed here is correct. - Revolving Bugbear 12:47, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
