Speedy deletion nomination of Brantley Gilbert
A tag has been placed on Brantley Gilbert 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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon 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. 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. Reconsider !  13:06, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Hello, Gsmith, and welcome to Wikipedia! I assume the help request is about the article which has been nominated for speedy-delete. This is because it's all sourced to the artist's own website. In order for an article to survive on Wikipedia, it must have citations to reliable sources outside the artist her/himself. These might include industry press, mainstream entertainment magazines, or published reviews. I hope this helps -- if you have any other questions, please leave a message on my talk page!
