Speedy deletion nomination of Brain Rain


A tag has been placed on Brain Rain 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Karl 334 Talk- -Contribs  20:15, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Hello BerlinusCivis. I saw your note on the talk page of the above deleted article, and wanted to clarify something: your explanation is, in fact, exactly why the band shouldn't have a Wikipedia article. WIkipedia only allows articles on subjects (bands, people, etc.) that are already notable. This means that until a band has already established themselves, released notable albums, and received coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources, they can't have an article. Of course, should the band become notable in the future, then someone will likely make an article on them. Qwyrxian (talk) 00:50, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
