Speedy deletion nomination of Gallowglass (band)


A tag has been placed on Gallowglass (band) 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, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 20:45, 26 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Just to let you know I have contested the above speedy deletion because the criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance (even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source or does not qualify on Wikipedia's notability guidelines). This is stated on the WP:CSD page at A7 (the nominating criteria). This does not mean that the article won't eventually get deleted but it does mean that the claims of notability should be examined and discussed by editors. Please note that your references to support notability must be supported by independent and noteworthy sources (for example, the Western Morning News doing an article on you as opposed to the Camelford Free Advertiser). You also appear to have a conflict of interest, judging by your name - this is not going to help matters (see WP:COI) and although I strongly recommend you start a userpage here, I suggest you change it to something neautral.Anyway, I'd be happy to help improve the article - let me know.

Wikipedia has a huge set of rules and regs but those 5 basics above in the welcome message are all the average editor needs to get by and a look at them should make things seem a lot clearer. Plutonium27 (talk) 22:29, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Do not even consider adding trivial information about a person to a wikipedia article unless said person is notable enough to have their own article on wikipedia. Freikorp (talk) 03:57, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
