Speedy deletion of The Stiff Richards

A tag has been placed on The Stiff Richards 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 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. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 04:22, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from The Stiff Richards, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 04:56, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Coppers Wheels

Editing the original article to create a redirect to "copperswheels.com" is a no-no; the article is about the band, not about the entrepeneurial efforts of the individual members. The article itself is pretty weak - it was proposed for deletion. You're going to have to do some ground work to establish some notability, here. I can see maybe including the copper wheels web site as part of a "current activities" sort of thing, but that would require re-writing the article to incorporate lots of independent references, newspaper articles, and history.

Mind you, I am not trying to dissuade you from doing exactly that; you know the band, you can probably find references and establish whether they're notable or not. TreacherousWays (talk) 19:48, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
