User talk:Coolguy1793

Why has my new page: B.C. Williamson been made a candidate for speedy deletion? Thanks.


 * An article about a fictional musician created in the winter of 2009? Nothing other than user created content about him. Why would it deserve an article? noq (talk) 15:40, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

What do you mean by "user created content"? His music is available to download on iTunes- how else would you suggest an article about a fictional musician be written? I reference The Rutles

Sorry for all the questions, but as you probably know, I'm new to all this


 * Coolguy1793, you have followed the appropriate process by contesting the speedy deletion with . I do not believe that the page meets the specified criterion for speedy deletion, and as such I have removed the request. Another editor may decide to request deletion again, but this should be via the full Articles for Deletion process that allows for debate and discussion. I have removed the helpme template from your page so that it is known that you are being helped. I am watching your talk page, please post here if you have any questions/comments. Thanks.

Thank you very much Master Runner. Do you have any tips that may prevent the article from being made a candidate again by other editors? Coolguy1793 (talk) 16:35, 5 September 2009 (UTC)


 * (Edit conflict with Master runner) The speedy deletion criterion G3, vandalism (blatant hoax), is perhaps inappropriate as the article does not attempt to conceal the fact that the subject is fictional. However, the article is still liable to be deleted as non-notable (maybe even speedy deleted under criterion A7 - no indication of importance). Also, the article only cites primary sources as references.  I'm not sure why you mention The Rutles as they are a very different case, and even if they were analogous, you should refer to WP:OTHERSTUFF to see why this is not a compelling argument.  ∙  AJCham  talk  16:39, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

I cite The Rutles because they too were a fictional band made for comedy purposes by two men. What is the difference between them and B.C. Williamson? Coolguy1793 (talk) 16:43, 5 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Simply put, notability - the Rutles have had appearences on high profile television programmes (SNL, for example) and charted singles. Contrast with B.C. who has a mere 240 plays on Last.fm and has released one song on iTunes - today. Completely different story.  ∙  AJCham  talk  17:46, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

But by that logic, The Beatles are not notable: they have 0 legal downloads at all. Also, B.C. Williamson's last.fm page contains many independent shouts from people all around the world of all different ages. Please also read my latest point at the B.C.
