Speedy deletion nomination of KanibaL HolokausT


A tag has been placed on KanibaL HolokausT 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.

Thanks for contacting me - I will respond here, as I prefer to keep all Wikipedia-connected conversations on Wikipedia!

I'm not sure what you mean about protecting "your" article KanibaL HolokausT.

A few points:
 * 1) Articles are not owned by the subjects or their agents - they are 'owned' by Wikipedia.
 * 2) Articles are not protected from editing unless there is a lot of re-occurring vandalism. Edit wars- where two or more editors disagree with what should be in an article - may lead to temporary protection.
 * 3) No one is 'authorised' to edit a specific article. Wikipedia is the encyclopedia which anyone can edit
 * 4) The article in question has been deleted 4 times since 2007. In every instance, this was because no claim of importance or significance was provided. It does not currently exist.

For an article to be re-created about the project and for it to not end up being deleted, it needs to be shown within the article that the project is important/significant. Realistically, this means that it should meet the general notability criteria, and especially the notability criteria for musical projects. There should be coverage of the project at sources which are recognised as being reliable, and which are independent of the subject.

I can find nothing that would indicate that this musician meets the notability criteria - it might be better to find an alternative outlet, perhaps EveryBand Wiki or Last.fm?

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask them here, or on my Talkpage.
