Speedy deletion proposal
A tag has been placed on Lauri Hämäläinen, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. If you plan to add more material to the article, I advise you to do so immediately. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material, please affix the template  to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Kai A. Simon 19:40, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi Lee.

Thanks for your response. I am setting out quite a number of speedy deletion nominations, but in this case I only notified you, since the nominator forgot that. Please don't feel discouraged from further contributions to Wikipedia. Have a look at some of the guides, which might help you to understand how editing and reviewing works. Happy editing! Kai A.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/List of bands from Europe
You commented (by the way, AfD talk pages are rarely checked, so this may not be the best place to comment if you want to be read):


 * If this list is up for deletion because it's difficult to maintain, why not delete the list for American bands & singers (if there is one)? Any list of bands & singers will be difficult to maintain because there will always be someone new who arrives who (if they have an article on Wikipedia about them) can be added to it.


 * This list is important because it allows people (like myself) who are interested in artists from Europe to find out who is out there. There are a lot of artists in the list to be looked at and it gives them an opportunity to have their talents recognised by a wider audience.


 * Also, from a personal point of view, I've made a few contributions to this list to get as many European artists recognised as possible. I wouldn't want to see my efforts wasted!

Well, in order: &mdash; Coren (talk) 22:40, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) The fact that other similar articles exist is never a good justification.
 * 2) Finding "European artists" would be better served by a category.
 * 3) Getting artists recognized is the opposite purpose of an encyclopedia (which is to document topics which are already notable).
 * 4) Your efforts are appreciated, but they can always be edited mercilessly or deleted.
