The speaks
Hi. The article you've created does not have the appropriate tone or content for an encyclopedia. I urge you to read some of the links above which indicate what is expected in terms of style and content. In addition, info in Wikipedia ALWAYS has to be verifiable from reliable third-party sources. There are also specific "notability" guidelines for music articles that may help you include the appropriate content into the article. I have nominated the article for speedy deletion based on the fact that it does not make an assertion of notability and that it seems like promotional rather than neutral material. If you need help or an explanation please reply here by clicking the "edit" link on the right (type your reply below mine, leaving a blank line between). I will try and assist wherever possible.

Warning
You have recently re-created the article The Speaks, which was deleted in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policies. Please do not re-create the article. If you disagree with the article's deletion, you may ask for a deletion review.

The Speaks
A tag has been placed on The Speaks, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable (see the guidelines for notability here). If you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please affix the template  to the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

Please read the criteria for speedy deletion (specifically, article #7) and our general biography criteria. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. -- Armadillo From Hell 21:34, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

This was a non-notable band as per the criteria set out in WP:Music. Perhaps Myspace would be a better location for this information. (aeropagitica) 22:05, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

That's fine if you want to delete The Speaks. It is my friend's band but since the Category:Filipino_musicians is there, I thought I'd put them in there. They've been referenced in the Washington Post and it's a fairly narrowly scoped market "American Filipino Band". But I won't force it. Milkfilk 20:29, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
