Quidam (band)
A tag has been placed on Quidam (band), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template   to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

If the only reason why you created a blank article was to solve a misdirection problem, the better alternative is to create a link to nowhere (also known in Wikipedia as a redlink) in the article in question. This way, people know that it is a link to a nonexistent article, and they are not disappointed to see a blank article. It might also be interpreted as a signal that an actual article is needed. See WP:BLANK. --Blanchardb- Me • MyEars • MyMouth -timed 13:45, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
