Your sandbox request
I will consider your request to userfy your article Suits 'N Toques (put it in a sub-page in your user space) but I have some doubts, because the WP:Notability standard for bands is quite high - see WP:BAND - and I have the impression that they are some way off meeting it yet. The policy on things like this in sandboxes or user pages is explained at WP:FAKEARTICLE: "Userspace is not a free web host and should not be used to indefinitely host pages that look like articles... Short-term hosting of potentially valid articles and other reasonable content under development or in active use is usually acceptable". "Short-term" is usually taken to mean a few months. So, if the band are early in their career, there would not be much point having a sandbox version which would just get nominated for deletion in six month or so.

Having given that warning, I will userfy it if you like. Reply below here - I will watch this talk page. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 13:12, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
