Talk:The Cureheads

Untitled
This is certainly not an advertisement. I wrote this myself. I am not a member of the band and have nothing to gain from adding a page that fills in several blanks across the links on wiki concerning other citations for certain members of this band. The format has actually been templated from other bands in the tribute band page on Wiki. There appear to be no problems with the formatting of any of the other tribute bands listed.

Speedy deletion nomination of The Cureheads


A tag has been placed on The Cureheads requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. GothicRockerJourno (talk) 07:55, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Before deleting this page Please search Wiki under tribute bands until you reach the page which was set up for tribute bands. There are over 50 entries for tribute bands there. This page is important as it provides information on a Tribute band that people searching for articles about the tribute band phenomenon may wish to use from this wiki page. I have taken care to begin its template based up how the majority of other tribute band articles are set up. (which are NOT marked for deletion).

If this is to be deleted for not being of any importance ..then why are the other entries about tribute bands not marked for deletion?

I have read through all wiki's guidelines and improved the article. Other contributors have helped me make it neutral. (Despite it being so in the first draft IMO)

The members of the band have been in signed bands and during their time in the tribute band appeared on international TV networks and traveled the world to play in said tribute band. This is all referenced and proven fact. Why is this of interest? Because it demonstrates the essence of the strange 'tribute band phenomenon which exists on planet earth.' A simple google search of the word 'tribute bands' will bring up thousands of sites which are obsessed either positively or negatively by the interest in tribute bands. It is not the job of the editors of Wiki to decide if a subject is interesting to them personally. The simple search I quote above will prove the simple answer to whether your deletion request is valid.

This subject of this entry has been playing together for 20 years. Much longer than some for the other entries on the WIKI tribute band page. Making them of interest to people who are interested in the tribute band phenomenon.

In conclusion. I say that if you remove this article based on the reason stated in the SD tag then by that you must remove the tribute band page AND all of the bands linked to it.

I am adding some extra information that will reflect this interest.
