Speedy deletion nomination of 1099 (band)


A tag has been placed on 1099 (band) 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.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. § FreeRangeFrog 17:07, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

Advice
Wikipedia is really not intended for people to write about themselves and their own bands - see Wikipedia is not about YOU. There are sites like Myspace and Facebook for that.

Unlike those sites, Wikipedia is selective about subjects for articles. For bands, the criteria are explained at WP:BAND. See also WP:42 and User:JohnCD/Not a noticeboard.

If you think you can show that your band meets that standard, reply below here and I will move your article into a user sub-page for you to work on. But think hard about WP:BAND, because unless you can find reliable independent sources to show that the band meets it, you will be wasting your time.
