Speedy deletion nomination of Paddy and the Rats


A tag has been placed on Paddy and the Rats requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Guest9999 (talk) 16:33, 10 May 2010 (UTC)


 * I noted the "hangon" tag that you applied to the above-captioned article and the material you left on its associated talk page. I thought I would point you to this article, which outlines the standard against which administrators like myself use to gauge whether musical groups meet our notability standard.  I couldn't see anything in the article that met any of the standards, so I decided to agree with the editor who tagged the article for speedy deletion.  If you have any questions about the WP:MUSICBIO standard, or any other Wikipedia policy, or if you wish the deleted material to be returned to you so that you can add citations that may make the article meet the WP:MUSICBIO standard, feel free to leave me a note.
