Rancour
None of your points speak to the bases for deletion. The article asserted no importance whatever. It stated the band exists, when it was formed, who the members are, their influences and a few gigs played. No one disputed this was true or that the information wasn't relevant to this band. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia which means the subject of articles must be notable, and that word here means the subject of significant treatment in independent, reliable sources. Wikipedia is not a blog or social networking site, it is not a forum for soapboxing or advertizing and it is not a place to announce new things. Every local band can write a true article about themselves (in violation of our conflict of interest guidelines). That does not mean they merit an encyclopedia article. If you wish to dispute the deletion, you can take it to deletion review.--Fuhghettaboutit 22:14, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
