User talk:Mbarbecue

A tag has been placed on Midnight Barbecue, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it 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 assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (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. -- Finngall  talk  18:54, 27 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from articles you have created yourself. Please use the template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion.  -- Finngall   talk  19:11, 27 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not merely a repository of random information or a provider of free web space. All information herein needs to be verifiable, which is the reason why those references are necessary.  -- Finngall   talk  19:29, 27 July 2007 (UTC)


 * If the show is genuinely notable, then we need references to it from articles in newspapers, magazines, and books (not MySpace, Facebook or somebody's fansite). We need evidence from disinterested third parties that the show is of note now, not that it is "promising," "fast-rising," "up-and-coming" or "about to hit it big." This is a reference work, not US Weekly (although, ironically, articles about the show in US Weekly would be useful). -- Orange Mike 19:34, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
