User talk:JBarhorst001

A tag has been placed on The Ivory Tusk requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. --Salona (talk) 06:35, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Re:
No, that is incorrect. That will only tell the administrators and/or bureaucrats that the article meets one more notability guideline. However, there is a major guideline that the article doesn't meet, which is that the band has released one album only and according to the notability guidelines for artists and bands, an artist or band must have at least two studio albums to be considered a notable subject worthy of an article on Wikipedia. --Salona (talk) 06:52, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Re:
So why is there a Panic At the Disco page? They've only had one studio album. Sure, they're coming out with a new one soon, but they've still only had one...
 * Wikipedia would love your help in rooting out non-notable topics. Feel free to follow the standard deletion processes. As to your underlying idea here though, just because you found one thing that isn't viable (in your view) doesn't mean other non-viable things should be allowed.

 * so basically you've made it so we can't win, and whatever wikipedia says goes? How user friendly...
 * Er, who other than Wikipedia would you expect to set Wikipedia guidelines? Note that these are really just the consensus opinion of the editors and users. Wikipedia is not and does not claim or want to be about everything; when your group becomes worthy enough that reliable sources report on it, an article is certainly allowable at that time.

 * Okay, that makes sense. It kind of sucks though, because there really isn't another place that's like this where we can post orginized stuff. You've got a nice system. Sorry for bothering you all.
 * Lots of bands begin with pages (and fan-groups) on MySpace or other free webservers. DMacks (talk) 07:25, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
