User talk:Divinevelocity

A tag has been placed on David Vandervelde, 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, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the 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. Finngall 18:04, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: Rescinding the tag: No prob. But you have to admit that before the supplemental material was added, it didn't look too much different from the run-of-the-mill "here's an article about my band we're just getting started but we're gonna be big cause we won our high school battle of the bands" article. It doesn't take much time playing Whac-A-Mole with the "my band is kool" articles, the barely literate vanity articles, and the "my classmate eats poo and is gay" articles before one gets real quick on the speedy-tag trigger. Thanks, and take care. --Finngall 02:01, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
