Speedy deletion nomination of The Desert (band)
Hello ConnorJGodfrey,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged The Desert (band) for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ contest this deletion], but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

WP:BAND - some advice
Hi Connor.

Basically what people like will need for The Desert's article to stay up is for it to pass WP:BAND. Any one of the counts will do. The first one, about the multiple non trivial sources is the best because it is basically a reiteration of WP:GNC I recommend getting together at least three examples - ideally some music press (such as Louder Than War (website), Vive Le Rock (magazine) etc or possibly a review in a decent sized local newspaper (ideally a city/regional daily/evening paper - not the free press that comes through the door at the end of the week!).  Looking at the band's official website  I see that Tom Robinson has championed the band.  If this is more than just the odd airplay - say if he's played a whole special of their tracks or even had them in for a BBC6 music session - then option #12 "Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or TV network" could be your best bet for the time being.  Don't forget to clearly state in the opening paragraph of your article the claim to notability - this is the "assertion of notability" moderators are looking for. (But don't say "They are notable because ..." just state the achievements that make them a pass on WP:BAND. (You might like to also post about how the article passes WP:BAND on the talk page, just to be on the safe side.)  By the way, don't be too discouraged - Slow Readers Club had their article deleted loads of times on the way up and now they are a UK Top 20 Album band.95.148.20.28 (talk) 18:20, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
