Speedy deletion nomination of Freddie Henchi and the Soulsetters


A tag has been placed on Freddie Henchi and the Soulsetters 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.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. CtP (t • c) 20:54, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

Removing Speedy at Freddie Henchi and the Soulsetters
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for taking the time to contribute.

I'm a bot designed by another Wikipedia editor, and I'm here to help you with our deletion process. I noticed that while working on an article recently, you removed a speedy deletion template that tagged it for deletion. Don't get discouraged! Deletion discussions happen on Wikipedia all the time.

If you don't want the article to get deleted, please [ click here].

The link will take you to the talk page, where you can explain why the article should be kept. If you have any questions about this or need help with editing, you can ask at the Help desk.

We really hope you'll stick around to help make Wikipedia better! Thank you, - SDPatrolBot (talk) 21:02, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

Not them - YOU
We do not encourage people to write articles about themselves, on the grounds that they may well know more about themselves, but are very unlikely to give the whole picture. (Come on, would you tell everyone what you did? Yes, that incident...) This is an encyclopaedia, and articles are expected to be 'warts and all', not profiles like at discogs or reverbnation. There is another problem, too. You don't show any particular notability for the band. Look at WP:BAND, and at WP:RS which is about the reliable independent sources you need. If the band are the only source (as profiles at discogs etc don't count, nor do blogs, wikis, YouTube, Facebook and all similar), then I'm afraid there'll be no article. I've not deleted it (someone else may), but you need to get references in quick to prove the notability under BAND. If there is - may be too early. You say 'were', so if there's nothing by now, there isn't going to be in future. Sorry, but we don't have articles on every band. I've played in or with several that wouldn't stand a chance - even though we played to 10,000 once and have been seen on TV in at least three countries. Peridon (talk) 21:56, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

Freddi-Henchi Band
I understand completely that you want to get out an accurate history of your band, but I don't think that Wikipedia is the right place to do this. I'd suggest creating a page for your group on Facebook or a similar site, because Wikipedia articles have to meet certain inclusion standards and I don't think your band is quite ready yet. Once independent sources have taken note of your band, then it can have a Wikipedia article, but for now, social networking would be a great alternative. CtP (t • c) 21:46, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
