Non-notable entries
A tag has been placed on Kinetik, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be a biographical account about a person, group of people, or band, but it does not indicate how or why he/she/they is/are notable. If you can indicate why Kinetik is really notable, I advise you to edit the article promptly, and also put a note on Talk:Kinetik. Any admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles. You might also want to read our general biography criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that admins should wait a while for you to assert his/her/their notability, please affix the template  to the page, and then immediately add such an assertion. It is also a very good idea to add citations from reliable sources to ensure that your article will be verifiable. Alan 03:01, 22 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles. If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please place hangon on the page and make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you.  dcandeto 03:03, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

RE: Notable band
Thanks for replying to my talk page. In answer to your comment, what you'll want to do whenever you create an article is to make sure to document as much info as possible as to why the band is notable. If someone places a speedy delete tag on your article, all you have to do is place "" on the article's main page, and then explain why the article should not be deleted on the article's discussion page. An administrator will look at your argument before deleting the article. If the article appears to have merit, either the delete request will be removed, or the article will be placed in a debate forum (see Articles_for_deletion) where other users will read the article and place comments either opposing or agreeing with the deletion of the article.

I apologize if your article got deleted before you were done with it. The best thing to do is to complete the article as much as possible before saving the page. You can see your progress as you create the article by using the "show preview" button at the bottom and get it just the way you want it before saving it for others to see. Also, I may have violated the "Don't bite the newbies" policy, and if so, I apologize for that as well. What I would do is re-post the completed article, and include the information you gave me regarding their significance to the Austin music scene. The article will most likely be read by someone perusing the newly created articles section within several minutes, and if it's nominated for deletion again, follow the steps from my first paragraph.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.--Alan 03:38, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
