Speedy deletion of Baby X
A tag has been placed on Baby X requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on : explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

 * Please review WP:BAND for inclusion criteria. The band does not appear to meet those requirements.  Acroterion  (talk)  12:40, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I appreciate your comments on my talk page, even though you reconsidered the posting. You are correct in many of your points, and it comes down to a point of where to establish a consistent policy, and how to discourage promotional content. We get literally hundreds of articles a day on garage bands, myspace bands, imaginary bands, and every now and then, pretty good bands that may deserve notice but aren't yet recognized. They get deleted, deserving or not. I tend to be sympathetic to bands that have been around a long time and which have received some notice, but haven't quite passed the bar set in WP:BAND.  Is there any coverage in the newspapers? That always helps. Sometimes, the solution is to wait a while and see if the band can take the next step.
 * You can imagine the kind of promotional nonsense that appears from people who think that Wikipedia is a way to generate notability, rather than what it is - a place to document pre-existing notability. That's why we set the bar where it is. I encourage you to contribute, and to not be discouraged. Because we have to insist on verifiability, it's hard to write an article on an underground music scene or act, but I encourage you to look for sources. WP:BAND isn't law, but you would need to make a pretty good case to get past a formal deletion discussion at Articles for Deletion.  Acroterion  (talk)  13:42, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
