Speedy deletion nomination of Secrets (post-hardcore band)


A tag has been placed on Secrets (post-hardcore 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.

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. EricSerge (talk) 21:16, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi there. Check out WP:BAND.  I am afraid that your band does not meet notability guidelines for inclusion on Wikipedia.  In looking at the Billboard web site I am unable to find supporting references that show this band's album has charted, they are on their first album, they have not won any major awards or contests, and I cannot find anything more than trivial coverage in internet sources.  I did not nominate lightly and looked for sources to back this article up, but could not find any that asserted notability.  EricSerge (talk) 21:30, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Secrets page
You have re-created the Secrets (post-hardcore band) page without complying with what Wikipedia requires. You use using unreliable sources, the article is poorly written and hasn't been improved since it's recreation. I don't mean to sound like this is an attack against you, but the article just doesn't fit the criteria based off of what information is available.
