Speedy deletion of Mortar and pestle (band)
A tag has been placed on Mortar and pestle (band) 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

I deleted the article on the band for the second time today. The article is not showing signs that it meets the Wikipedia inclusion guidelines, specifically the guidelines for bands. Essentially, to qualify for an article on Wikipedia, a band must have been the subject of significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. Reliable sources would include newspapers, magazines, trade journals, and television shows. They would not include press releases, self-published websites, or information from the band itself. Wikipedia doesn't allow original research, so information must come from these reliable sources, not from what you may personally know. However, just because a band doesn't meet the inclusion criteria now doesn't mean that it won't later. When the band begins to receive coverage in reliable sources, then an article can be created.
