Speedy deletion of Tord Øverland Knudsen
A tag has been placed on Tord Øverland Knudsen 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 person or group of people, but it 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

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 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 21:48, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

I did the redirect because there's no evidence that he has any notability independent of the band, and no references to reliable sources that deal with him specifically have been provided. This lack of evidence of notability is what prompted the speedy deletion of the first version of the article. If you wish to add verifiable information about him to Wikipedia, I think that the band article is the best place for it. I'll be adding a welcome message to the top of your page which contains many excellent links to Wikipedia's policies, procedures, and guidelines. I hope you'll go over them, and I'll happily answer further questions. Thanks, and take care. -- Finngall  talk  23:02, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
