Hi. Just in case you don't see it there, I have written you a note at Talk:926 Main Street Apt. 2. William Pietri (talk) 05:41, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

926 Main Street
926 Main Street is an established band in Massachusetts. Joe DeGeorge whi is a member of the band also plays in a very popular band called Harry and The Potters, for which there is already an extensive Wikipedia page discussing the group. On this page it mentions 926 Main Street as Joe DeGeorge's band so it is rather silly to delete the Wikipedia page for that band. (JNathan43 (talk) 05:12, 30 March 2008 (UTC)).


 * Hi, JNathan. You have unfortunately run afoul of a problem that plagues us eternally: it seems like every band who has managed to hold so much as a rehearsal seems to feel like the next step is to add a Wikipedia page. So people are unfortunately a little touchy on the topic. To make sure this article gets kept, take a look at our criteria for keeping band articles and make it obvious in the article how 926 Main Street meets them. And make sure to cite references to any press these guys have gotten as any information here must be things that we can verify in reliable sources. William Pietri (talk) 05:40, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * It looks like you've given up or gone to bed, so I'm going to delete this for now. If you believe the article meets WP:BAND and would like it restored or would just like a copy of the text, feel free to ask. William Pietri (talk) 06:58, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

I checked the criteria. We do fit. The part that is especially relevent is part 6. About a member being in an otherwise noteworthy band. See the link Harry and the Potters Can you please put us back now?
 * Do you have any reliable sources that you can use to build an article about them? There was nothing like that in the deleted article, and there's nothing more about the band in Harry and the Potters. Part 6 finishes off with, "note that it is often most appropriate to use redirects in place of articles on side projects, early bands and such," and that seems like the case here. If you need help creating that redirect, let me know. William Pietri (talk) 21:19, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
