American Singles
Wikipedia has three content policies:
 * Neutral point of view
 * Verifiability
 * No original research

They are used together to determine which articles remain. I think that the American Singles article makes sense to include on Wikipedia, but currently it doesn't appear to meet any of the policies.

Ultimately, my experience is that if there are a reasonable number of reliable sources referenced in the article, it is unlikely to be deleted both because it is verifiable and it is harder to imply that it is original research or a skewed POV.

If it is moved to Articles for Deletion (AfD) review, it is unlikely that the reason given will be one of the content policies, it is much more likely that the reason given will be one of notability. The specific areas of notability that might apply (either for keeping or deleting) are WP:WEB and WP:LOCAL. Again, the easiest way to overcome these arguments is to provide references from reliable sources]].

I have looked a couple of times now, and have not been able to find third party stories about American Singles. If you have access to reliable third party sources to back up the information in the story, add links to them in an External links or References section at the end of the article.

We only have until Tuesday to remove the prod tag on the article. Once the tag is removed, it is likely that it will quickly be taken to AfD, but that should not be a concern because there should still be another 5 days of discussion.

I hope that this is helpful to you. ~ Bigr  Tex  03:08, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
