Talk:The Piss Shivers (band)

I have added a new reference source *https://archive.org/details/MaximumRocknrollNo.174nov1997 it is coverage from Maximumrockandroll magazine that is preserved on the internet archive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rokkgod (talk • contribs) 23:19, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

As proof of the band's significance please view the verifiable discography as well as the groups inclusion in the book Anecdote, Stories From the Road. http://www.amazon.com/Anecdote-Stories-Road-Collection-Tour/dp/096712610X Rokkgod (talk) 22:01, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
 * The only problem is that the links given don't really show notability for the band. They show that it exists, but not any notability, as they are all either WP:PRIMARY sources that were created by the band/representative or they're just routine database listings, which also cannot show notability because it's expected that most bands will be listed in a routine discography database. As far as the book goes, it appears to be a non-notable, self-published work and wouldn't really be something that would be the exception to WP:SPS. However that said, I don't see where the page is currently up for speedy deletion... although I suppose I probably should nominate it for AfD due to the overall lack of sources that would be considered WP:RS. I would rather avoid this if it can be helped, so I propose a compromise: I'll move it to the draftspace where you can work on finding coverage in reliable sources. Something to look for would be coverage in zines, as sometimes those can be used as a reliable source but haven't been uploaded to the Internet- something that can be common for some punk, underground, and indie-type bands. I'd highly recommend asking for help from WikiProject Rock music as they can possibly help point you in the right direction for sources. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   05:20, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of The Piss Shivers (band)


A tag has been placed on The Piss Shivers (band) 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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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.
