Notability of The Dead Famous
The article The Dead Famous has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article, which appeared to be about a real person, individual animal, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. JohnCD (talk) 18:14, 1 May 2012 (UTC)


 * See WP:BAND for what a band need to have achieved before they can have a Wikipedia article, and WP:NAY for why in any case you should not be writing about your own band. There are plenty of sites like Myspace and Facebook where you can write about it, but Wikipedia is different - it's a project to build an encyclopedia. The links in the Welcome message above will tell you more about it. JohnCD (talk) 18:14, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
