Speedy deletion nomination of Colin William Mellor


A tag has been placed on Colin William Mellor 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this 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.  Ignatz mice•talk 13:33, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Notability
Sorry, but parish church organists aren't notable for being that, no matter whether they trained in cathedrals or not. Without any other claim to fame, they aren't suitable material for articles in an encyclopaedia. Yes, some parish church organists do achieve notability - but for being composers of note rather than just being the organist. Fair or unfair? That's the way it is. We can't have articles about everyone and everything. Peridon (talk) 14:39, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
