Speedy deletion nomination of Doc Walton & Enfield


A tag has been placed on Doc Walton & Enfield 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.

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; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Fæ (talk) 12:16, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi. I've fixed up your hangon tag and moved your comment to the Talk page. Please note that to justify a Wikipedia article, musicians need to satisfy the WP:NM notability criteria - it is very rare that "up and coming" musicians will qualify. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 12:57, 6 March 2011 (UTC)


 * As deleting administrator, I read the "hangon" note you wrote, but the problem is not one that is fixable by re-writing - it's the subject. As an encyclopedia, Wikipedia only reports on things that are already established. The test is called WP:Notability and the particular standard for musical performers is at WP:MUSICBIO. I'm afraid "up and coming" and "working on their first release" is nowhere near it.


 * Also, people are strongly discouraged from writing about themselves, for reasons explained here. By the time your act reaches the standard of MUSICBIO, one of your fans will independently want to write an article about you. JohnCD (talk) 17:34, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
