The Black Brians
Hello, I noticed you were working on an article called The Black Brians. Is there any way you can establish notability for this band? I am not having any luck. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page. Thanks! - orion eight  (talk) 01:59, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Black Brians article
Hello again, Juanloki! I sincerely apologize for not getting back to you sooner regarding your comment on my talk page (regarding the Black Brians article). Please note, however, that I didn't nominate the article for deletion. . . that was someone else. I've been really busy outside the Wiki and didn't do much major editing last week. I hope you can assume good faith and understand!

Okay, so heres the deal: WIkipedia has some pretty tough standards when it comes to notability for bands, and musicians in general. The can be found at WP:MUSIC. The good thing is that these are just guidelines, not hard-and-fast rules, so there can be leeway. Here's what I would do: read and understand the notability guidelines at WP:MUSIC, and then go expand the article to show that the band meets one of those criteria. Try to back up the information with some links; that way the information is verifiable.

And then, by all means, go to the article's deletion discussion and be heard! The community is discussing the possibility of deleting the article; let everyone know that you're working on the article and make your case. In that discussion I have said that I would like to see the article deleted because of lack-of-notability, but I'd be more than willing to change my mind if there was verifiable information proving that the band is notable.

Okay, hope that all makes sense. If you have any questions or comments, definately yell at me on my talk page! - orion  eight  (talk) 02:32, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
