 * I deleted your article under speedy deletion criterion A3 because, after an hour, there was still no content in it. Rather than make an empty article as a place-holder, it is better to wait until you have substantial content to contribute. If you like, you can start a draft article in your user space at User:Poulidor56b/Blimey!, ask for comment at WP:Requests for feedback, and move it to the main encyclopedia space when it is ready. Read some of the links in the Welcome paragraph above, particularly WP:My first article, and also read WP:BAND to see what a band or musical performer needs to have achieved in order to have a Wikipedia article.

Proposed deletion of Blimey!


The article Blimey! has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * No third party reliable sources to show that this musician is notable.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

I think that the musician Blimey! is notable, because he meets the folowwing criteria:

1. Has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician or ensemble itself and reliable.[note 1] * This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, magazine articles, online versions of print media, and television documentaries[note 2] except for the following: o Any reprints of press releases, other publications where the musician or ensemble talks about themselves, and all advertising that mentions the musician or ensemble, including manufacturers' advertising.[note 3] o Works comprising merely trivial coverage, such as articles that simply report performance dates, release information or track listings, or the publications of contact and booking details in directories. o Articles in a school or university newspaper (or similar) would generally be considered trivial but should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

2. Has received non-trivial coverage in a reliable source of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country.[note 4] 3. Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of whom are notable). 4. Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability. 5. Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g. a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a notable compilation album, etc. (But if this is the only claim, it is probably more appropriate to have a mention in the main article and redirect to that article. Read WP:BLP1E and WP:BIO1E for further clarifications) 6. Has been placed in rotation nationally by any major radio network. 7. Has been the subject of a half-hour or longer broadcast across a national radio or TV network.

What 3rd party reliable sources were you thinking of? I can easily provide them. But should i put them in the article? (Poulidor56b (talk) 14:12, 10 October 2010 (UTC))
