Re: Deleted Entry
Regarding your comment left on my talk page regarding my deletion of Notice (band), I deleted the article in accordance with Wikipedia's Deletion policy, specifically the speedy deletion criteria related to articles that fail to assert notability.

First, the status of "my page" is not relevant to the status of your article. I do not have an article on Wikipedia. I do have a user page, but that is covered by different rules, and is not part of the main encyclopedia.

Second, WP:ILIKEIT is not a good argument to defend an article facing deletion. All articles on Wikipedia are required to assert notability, and that notability must be supported by reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article. In the case of your band, the specific guideline would be WP:BAND. This guideline lays out what the community has established as the threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia. There are currently twelve criteria established for bands, and meeting any one of which would generally establish a band as being notable. Your band does not appear to meet any of these criteria, thus it is extremely likely that it will be deleted again.

Moreover, the article I deleted, and the one which you recreated fails to even assert notability. Thus, it was marked by another editor for speedy deletion, while I deleted it. Your recreation of this article still fails the speedy deletion criteria. If this band does meet any of the criteria listed at WP:BAND, please add it in, and supply a reliable source to establish the claim. If your band does not meet these criteria, it will ultimately be deleted again, if not by me, then by another administrator. Regards, Resolute 03:10, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
