Speedy deletion of Vaginal Destruction
A tag has been placed on Vaginal Destruction 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, 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, 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 article (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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. jonny-mt(t)(c) 04:45, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Re: Vaginal Destruction
Hi RMakaru,

I just wanted to stop by and let you know why I nominated the page you created, Vaginal Destruction, for speedy deletion. Basically, the article did not establish the notability of the band, which is a prerequisite for articles on Wikipedia, and so I tagged it.

However, I know you put a lot of work into creating the page, and so I've created a copy of it here. If you think you can establish notability per the guidelines above as well as Wikipedia's specific guidelines on musical groups, I encourage you to move the article to your sandbox, bring it up to snuff, and then recreate the article in the mainspace.

I'll delete the copy of the page in approximately 24 hours--I figure that should give you enough time to grab it. I've also gone ahead and added a standard welcoming template below that you might find handy. Happy editing! --jonny-mt(t)(c) 04:53, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Re: Your question
Regarding your question on my talk page, I have already explained in my message above why I tagged the page for deletion. As per your concerns, I would like to point out that Wikipedia is not censored, and as such the name of the band had nothing to do with my decision to tag it.

While I understand that you are anxious to get an article written on this band, I would point out that they are not even signed to a record label, which is a basic criteria for band notability. I'm glad to hear that they are famous in the local music scene, but Wikipedia is not a local site, nor is it a directory. If you were under the impression that Wikipedia would be a good place to help with the promotion of this group, I'm sad to say that your impression was indeed mistaken.

On a personal note, I have to tell you that I'm saddened by the fact that you consider my actions to be insulting. I thought I was being helpful and encouraging, but I see that's not the case. As such, I've gone ahead and listed the copy of your article I saved for deletion.

If you have any questions, please refer them to the help desk. --jonny-mt(t)(c) 05:49, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
