Speedy deletion nomination of Brand New Machine


A tag has been placed on Brand New Machine, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to 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 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. 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. GILO  A&E&uArr;  18:01, 13 November 2011 (UTC)


 * I've declined the speedy deletion nomination for the moment. Please have a look at some other band pages to see the general format that band articles usually follow. Also have a look at WP:MUS for notability guidelines for bands... this should be demonstrated in the article with references to reliable sources (see WP:RS).

As per the assertions made at Talk:Brand New Machine, I'm moving this article to your user space for you to work on, as it can't remain in article space in its current state:


 * This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... I am trying to get information up on our history and where we are from. We are on tour in the UK and heading to Japan next and we keep getting asked why they cannot find information on Wikipedia where people look for information on who we are. I will go edit it to be more facts based and not interpretation for sure.


 * Is this more of what should be written???

The article is now at User:Bnmband/Brand New Machine.

I've prodded the article around a little to make it look a bit more like a Wikipedia page. It still needs a lot of work to get to the point at which it will survive as an article. Is the band signed to a record label? Were any of the members' previous bands notable in any way?

The references really need to be improved a lot from where they are at present. Reviews of singles or of live shows are good, particularly from newspapers and magazines.  Catfish  Jim  and the soapdish  12:40, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
