Here's my assessment of the links in the article on the sandbox page: http://www.mikevallely.com/ -- self-promotion, doesn't count

http://apps.facebook.com/ilike/artist/Revolution+Mother -- self-promotion, doesn't count

http://www.elementskateboards.com/team/thisismyelement/mike-vallely/ -- demonstrates that Mike Vallely is notable, but has nothing to do with the band

http://www.ilike.com/artist/Revolution+Mother -- self-promotion, doesn't count

Judging by what I see here, you would have an easier time if you tried to create an article about Mike Vallely and have it mention that he is with a band called Revolution Mother. I'm not saying that would be guaranteed to be successful, but it offers more hope (and is a slightly easier route) than going through deletion review with the Revolution Mother article. You might think about it. Accounting4Taste: talk 22:31, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Mike Vallely
Thanks for your note. I looked it up, and an administrator named User:Can't sleep, clown will eat me protected the page some time ago (August 2007?) against editing by people who don't have an account, because of concerns over repeated violation of the policy of biographies of living persons. I believe you should be able to edit the page as long as you sign into your account in order to do so. I'm not sure why it was protected but I'd be happy to ask the administrator in question if that's what you want. I hope this is the information you are looking for. If you have any further questions or problems, I'll try to help, just leave another note on my talk page. Accounting4Taste: talk 16:06, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
