Speedy deletion nomination of Aer (musical group)


A tag has been placed on Aer (musical group) 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. Safiel (talk) 17:22, 6 March 2013 (UTC)


 * A band doesn't get an article on Wikipedia if they're up-and-coming. They must have already arrived. See WP:BAND to understand the criteria a band should meet before it merits an article here. ~Amatulić (talk) 21:15, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

The requirements according to WP:BAND have been met. I quote "A musician or ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, DJ, musical theatre group, instrumentalist, etc.) may be notable if it meets at least one of the following criteria:
 * Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself.[note 1]"

Aer meets these qualifications. There are currently 2 reference links to independent articles by the media regarding Aer and its success.

I also quote "Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart..."

While citation on this matter is needed, it is irrelevant based on the initial quoted clause "...may be notable if it meets at least ONE of the following criteria:..."

I request that you reevaluate the deletion of this article and allow time for references, link, and citations to be added. Kb1nyq (talk) 22:35, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
