Speedy deletion nomination of Jessica anbara


A tag has been placed on Jessica anbara 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 your page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Funnyfarmofdoom (talk to me) 15:46, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi. In response to your comments on the article's talk page ... you basically need existing coverage in major national newspapers and verified chart placings (Billboard archives are good for that). There's other stuff, but those two things are a pretty good yardstick. Artists who are making an album that they hope to crack the top 100 are too soon to have one, and Facebook is usually an unsuitable source (since anyone can create a page and get all their friends to hit the "Like" button) to the extent of even mentioning it becoming a red flag to editors. FWIW I play in a non-notable band whose article on here would probably get speedy deleted for exactly the same reasons. Ritchie333 (talk)  (cont)   15:57, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
