Talk:Shit From Hell

Vandalism
I've reverted the Averythedog's edits, which I perceive to be vandalism. The user's comments to the contrary, he has provided no sourcing for his rather provocative description of Warren Kinsella. Need I point out that these edits run counter to Wikipedia's policy concerning biographies of living persons? On a related note, I have never assumed that Averythedog has had any contact with Mr Kinsella. I expect the same courtesy. Victoriagirl 21:07, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Deletion
I see no reason for this page to be deleted. A quick search on Google brings up a band with the same description, therefore I am assuming the only objection is to the name of the band.. and there is nothing wrong with a bit of free spirit here and there ;).

Tommorow, I will add references to the article which should hopefully get rid of that stupid 'article for deletion' notice.

I think the article should be deleted. This is a band that the majority of Canadians have never heard of, let alone listened to. The only reason this band is alive is because one of its members is Warren Kinsella, a Liberal commentator who promotes the band on his web page whenever he gets the chance.

For all I know, the band is a non-entity, but Kinsella's high profile makes this page valuable. If is removed, it should be replaced. How else can people confirm or research the band when Kinsella talks about it? More detail would be nice, though: did they wright any songs? perform any concerts? open for any concerts? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Peter Pascal (talk • contribs) 06:30, 17 January 2009 (UTC)


 * (From the guy who added the "Proposed Deletion" notice.)
 * First, some background. People often create Wikipedia articles about topics that don't really "deserve" articles. (The classic example is some garage band that only 10 people have even heard of.) So our community has developed rules about whether to have articles, called (somewhat misleadingly) Notability. Please read that page. We also have special rules about music and musical performers: please read Notability (music).
 * That Proposed Deletion notice really means "This article will be deleted in 5 days unless someone provides evidence the topic is notable". So if anyone (for example) finds a newspaper item about the band and edits the article to reference that item, the notice goes and the article stays. (But it has to be an article mostly about SFH, not an article about WK that just mentions SFH in passing.)
 * Wikipedia has other processes for deleting articles. I used "Proposed Deletion" precisely because it's a good way to get evidence of notability, if the topic is indeed "notable" in Wikipedia's senses of the word. So if you have any such evidence, please add it to the article and remove the Proposed Deletion notice.
 * Also, please note that articles can be undeleted if evidence of notability turns up after the deadline.
 * More importantly: If we do end up deleting the article, we should first move some of this information into the Warren Kinsella article.
