Speedy deletion of Jake and the bur-tones
A tag has been placed on Jake and the bur-tones 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.

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 they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you. §FreeRangeFrog 21:29, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

How do I make my article not be eligible for speedy deletion? I've already said how Jake and the Bur-Tones is significant.
 * I don't see any explanation per WP:MUSIC, the notability guidelines for music. Have they been covered in any reliable third-party sources other than concert reviews? Have they had a chart single, recorded for a notable label, etc.? Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 21:48, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Please stop removing speedy deletion notices from pages that you have created yourself. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. §FreeRangeFrog 21:36, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Your article
I realize that this might seem like you're getting stacked on, but please realize that your article does not meet the guidelines for notability, specifically for bands and musicians. I see you've added a hangon tag to contest the deletion. That's fine. Now you need to provide reliable third-party sources that establish the importance of the subject and therefore make it eligible for inclusion in Wikipedia. A link to the band's website, blogs, Facebook, MySpace, etc. are not considered reliable. If you fail to establish the importance of the band, the article will be deleted. Articles on bands are added all the time and sadly very few of them actually meet the guidelines, so they're usually removed. §FreeRangeFrog 22:19, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
