Speedy deletion nomination of The Bear Necessities (A Cappella Group)
A tag has been placed on The Bear Necessities (A Cappella Group) 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. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 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. 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.

Why Not Notable Enough?
I am a little confused as to why my article wasn't notable enough, considering there's a large List of collegiate a cappella groups on which you can find The Bear Necessities. Additionally, the other groups on that page, say, the Chattertocks, don't seem to be any more notable than the Bear Necessities. Am I missing something? --Eugenesong (talk) 21:01, 24 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi there. The most important thing is that the info presented should be verifiable - that means that the reader should be able to 'check the facts'. To achieve that, you need "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" - the exact meanings of that are defined in the general notability guideline, but what it boils down to is, any subject needs some books, magazines or newspaper articles that are specifically about it, not just passing mentions, and this coverage must be in something reasonably 'trustworthy' that is not connected to the subject itself.


 * Regarding other articles, well, we know that there are lots of articles on Wikipedia that currently do not meet the guidelines, and we're trying to fix that - please help! - but, the fact that other stuff exists is not a good argument.


 * I hope this helps a bit; if you do have more questions, please do ask again. Cheers, 94.192.157.204 (talk) 22:10, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
