The Watermelons
Hi, there's a good chance that this article will get deleted as it fails to credibly assert any notability for the band. Have a read of WP:MUS to get an idea of the sort of things we look for in a band article. A key requirement for all articles is that claims for notability are verifiable, by referencing reliable sources. Interviews and profiles in music magazines and newspapers are the sort of thing that we're looking for, not self-published websites, blogs, student papers or fanzines. Hope that helps.

Speedy deletion nomination of The Watermelons


A tag has been placed on The Watermelons 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 this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance 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.
