Rotting (band)
A tag has been placed on Rotting (Band), 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. 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. --Leon Sword 19:59, 13 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Hello Rotting9, in regards to your comment, I did not delete the page an administrator did. Apparently you read the above message too late since the Rotting article has already been deleted. I tagged the page for deletion because it failed to assert notability, you can go and read WP:MUSIC for a list of criteria allowing a band for inclusion into Wikipedia. If a band meets any of the criteria in that list, their article is normally not deleted. The band Rotting didn't seem to meet any of that criteria and thus I tagged it for deletion and an administrator apparently agreed that the band article didn't assert notability. The article said that the band was signed to a label, but it also said that they only released one album through that label. The difference between Rotting and other underground bands already included in Wikipedia is that those other bands have released more than one album through a label or they meet at least one of the criteria in WP:MUSIC. If you intend to recreate the Rotting article, I strongly suggest you read WP:MUSIC first and see if Rotting meets any of those criteria. If Rotting meets any of those criteria make sure the article shows that it meets those criteria. --Leon Sword 18:51, 14 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Okay I'm going to help you out here because there is a number of things wrong with the new article. After I'm done editing it I'll comment here again and tell what was wrong with the new version. Also please leave your comments in the correct place in my talk page, new topics always go at the bottom of talk pages. --Leon Sword 19:40, 14 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Done, the article you uploaded read too much like an advertisement, implied that the band was still active, and just had really bad formatting. Upon reading further into the band I'm still unsure that they might meet WP:MUSIC criteria for inclusion. The article no longer qualifies for speedy deletion, however it could still be deleted through other methods such as Articles for deletion and Proposed deletion. Anyways, I hope you look at the changes I made to the article and learn from them. I would also highly recommend that you read WP:PEACOCK, WP:NPOV, and WP:MOS. --Leon Sword 20:36, 14 June 2007 (UTC)


 * The main problem with Rotting is not that they never made it to a big label, it's that they only released one studio album and a compilation album through a label. Some Wikipedia editors may feel that a compilation album doesn't count as the second album required in WP:MUSIC for inclusion. However, if you can provide sources where the band was featured in, that would help greatly. To learn about citing sources you can read WP:CITE. Also the link to the merch store is not allowed, for more information on this you can read WP:EL. By the way, I'd like to thank you for your interest in contributing constructively to Wikipedia and I'm sorry I'm making you read all those policy and guideline pages, it's just that they explain things better than I ever could. If you have any more questions or need help with something feel free to ask. --Leon Sword 22:21, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

You may not know it but metal-archives.com is user edited, they're basically another wiki. I highly discourage people to use that website as a source since it often contains factually incorrect information. For sources you don't have to provide scans of old publications or stuff like that, you're always welcome to use online sources. Actually online sources are better since they are quickly accessible to everyone. Google is your friend. --Leon Sword 20:56, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
