Hi! It looked great in terms of content and layout, but there were no verifiable third-party sources and Myspace, Facebook and your own website don't count. Bands need an extremely highlevel of notability per WP:BAND. I'll restore it, but I'd add those refs ASAP. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 00:50, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

All set. Good luck! --PMDrive1061 (talk) 00:54, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Vanlord
A tag has been placed on Vanlord 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Dangerbird (band)
A tag has been placed on Dangerbird (band) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Colinclarksmith (talk) 02:32, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

WP:MUSICBIO
Considering the speedy deletion notifications above, you may want to have a look at WP:MUSICBIO, which is the Wikipedia standard governing the notability of musicians and musical groups. If a group's history doesn't meet any of those standards, it's highly unlikely that the article will be allowed to remain. Accounting4Taste: talk 17:06, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
