Speedy deletion of Maximum sixty
A tag has been placed on Maximum sixty 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 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you. --  Darth Mike  ( join the dark side ) 00:22, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

The criteria for the band portion of wikipedia pages states that one of the viable citiation things, or refernces could be a page that promotes tour dates, and the band itself, as well as contains music, etc. Our myspace page does exactly that, yet I am confused as to how to contest the deletion of the page, and how to refernce properly. The notes on citation really didn't help me at all. sorry!
 * You misread. Those sources are not viable. Myspace, the band itself, etc. are not viable. Also, new stuff goes to the bttom of the talk page. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 00:46, 2 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Please read Our policy on notability, as well as our policy on reliable sources (Myspace is self-published, and so is not a reliable source for establishing notability, for example). I'm sure you guys are good, but you're just another Myspace band, and we are not here to be an exhaustive collection of every band that's on Myspace. Have you done something particularly noteworthy? Charted on any national charts? Released an album on any major labels? Been covered in any non-local news media? Those are the things required to establish notability on Wikipedia. // roux   00:48, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
 * NOTE- I posted your comment on the talk page of the article.  shirulashem     (talk)   00:50, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

well, our album is about to be released....... so basically, we cant do anything until that is complete, and our viral marketing package is set up?,

Welcome! well, so basically, we cant create a page at all, because this second, we dont have anything that can directly take off the internet. What about our links, those are all true, how do we verify those, such as chris burke gaffney, etc.. also, we have been interviewed on shaw tv, but we have no way to show that I guess. Should I include vatikan records? the company of the guy producing us? or is this all fruitless, because it wont work anyways, and seeings as the page has already been deleted even though I added a hang on


 * Maximum Sixty, I will help you with your article. Just please remember to keep discussions on talk pages and also add new discussions to the BOTTOM of the page.  shirulashem     (talk)   00:58, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
 * perfect, thank you very much, we're just very confused at the moment. So is there a way that we can make our page, or do we have to wait till our album is out? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Maximum Sixty (talk • contribs) 01:00, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
 * you should read Manual of Style, and in the mean time i'm cleaning up your article. the biggest problem is establishing notability. has your group ever been mentioned in the news?  shirulashem     (talk)   01:17, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I dont think so, we have been on the radio, and tv several times, but that was just with the recordings we did in our basement. in the news, i dont think we have been. The only other things would be we have been interviewed by cbc radio (winnipeg) and have been on also the red river collegiate radio station. So maybe only the cbc broadcast may be on the internet.
 * The problem is that any material on Wikipedia can be deleted if it doesn't have proper citations. I'm afraid that if there isn't any sources, the article will probably get deleted.  shirulashem     (talk)   01:27, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, well thank you very much for all your effort, and oh wait, we are joining manitoba music as we speak, a promotional/music writers association of the province, would that count?
 * If you can give me some internet web addresses that have the information, then yes.  shirulashem     (talk)   01:34, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Hold on, let me just finish setting it up. Okay, it says that it will take a few days to process the application, so would I be able to contact you in a few days?
 * Sure. You can leave a message on my talk page.  shirulashem     (talk)   01:45, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Beautiful, thank you so very much!
