A tag has been placed on Still free team, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems 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 feel that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add  on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. 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. - Fordan (talk) 16:20, 12 May 2007 (UTC)


 * It looks like the administrators have deleted your page twice, even with the tag you placed on it, which also deleted my response on its talk page. Here's what I said, in case you were still looking to try to create the article. - Fordan (talk) 16:58, 12 May 2007 (UTC)


 * i think this page should not be deleted because this site is more than just a band. Is a group that do many things for there community. People look up to them and what to know about their news and what they are all about. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Music reporter (talk • contribs) 16:22, 12 May 2007


 * What you say may be true. I don't know, and I can't tell, since the quick check I did showed no google hits for "Still free team." The issue I have with the article isn't about the band. They may be exceptionally talented musicians who really do a lot to help the community. The issue is a question of Notability. This is a requirement for a subject to be covered in Wikipedia, and has a specific meaning for Wikipedia. Quoting from the above linked page: A topic is notable if it has received significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the topic. The specific criteria for Bands/Musical Groups is listed at WP:BAND. What needs to happen is someone needs to show how this group fits one of the criteria for Notability listed in WP:BAND. My check of Google didn't show me any, but not everything exists in Google. There may be local papers or other coverage you may be aware of that you can add to show Notability. - Fordan (talk) 16:39, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles that you have created yourself. If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please place  on the page (please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag) and make your case on the article's. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. -- lucasbfr talk 16:33, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
