Havoc (band)
Please see the reason why I have deleted this twice now. You have failed to demonstrate how that band passes basic muster as an important article to an enyclopedia. A good start to seeing what is required to pass muster is looking at WP:MUSIC and WP:BAND. Until you have a read over those, please do not re-create that page, otherwise I may have to prevent your ability to create that page. Cheers, and best of luck! ——  Eagle 101 Need help? 04:50, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi, you can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~. * I deleted your recent article because it did not provide independent verifiable sources that it meets the notability guidelines. It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have references. The fact that he has won an award might establish notability, but there is no independent sources to confirm the claim.

The article is written in an unencyclopaedic way, as a list of bullet points under bolded headings. It should be continuous prose, with headings formatted like ==This==. Additional facts/trivia etc sections are discouraged. If the facts are worth mentioning, incorporate them in the text, otherwise, leave them out.

If you recreate, a couple of minor things
 * The most profound experience of his life was  non-neutral claim, needs a ref, or rephrase
 * Spelling out US states is recommended, non-Americans don't necessarily know the abbreviations
 * Use more wikilinks eg Brooklyn, Sunnyvale, California, San Francisco Bay Area, Mountain View, California, San Jose State University, San Francisco Giants, Willie McCovey, Candlestick Park, John Clare
