Speedy deletion of "The lickets"
A page you created, The lickets, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a band or other musical group, but it does not indicate how they are important or significant, and thus why they should be included in an encyclopedia. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and the guidelines for musical groups in particular.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thank you.  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 03:06, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of The Lickets
A tag has been placed on The Lickets 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 a copy be emailed to you. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 07:59, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of The Lickets
I have nominated The Lickets, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/The Lickets. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 17:08, 24 December 2008 (UTC)


 * The chart positions you have cited are for individual stations, not well-known, recognized nationwide (or even regional) charts. Furthermore, you haven't provided references by which we can verify these charts. This group simply fails notability requirements. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 19:09, 24 December 2008 (UTC)


 * The station sites themselves — pay-to-view sites are frowned upon at Wikipedia. Even so, these by themselves will not be enough. The group is not signed by a major label or prominent indie, they haven't had a chart or album chart on a recognized, nationwide chart, and they have not made themselves notable outside of music in any way. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 19:14, 24 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Personal attacks such as those you posted in the AfD discussion specifically prohibited. Moreover, I have no idea how any fundamentalist agenda, mine or anyone else's, would have any bearing whatsoever on this matter. The musical group simply does not meet notability requirements, period. It is not signed to a recognized label, it has not had any songs to appear on any noteworthy chart (single-station charts do not qualify), and it has not achieved notability through any other means outside of their performance. I've nominated for deletion many, many bands and musicians of all genres for these very same reasons. Not every musician merits a Wikipedia article, because of policies that have been put in place here for quite some time. I strongly suggest that you read the relevant policies before continuing, and to refrain from remarks of a personal nature that may result your being blocked from editing. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 02:16, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
