Speedy deletion nomination of Gloria Trotter Needs A Kidney


A tag has been placed on Gloria Trotter Needs A Kidney requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about it should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate 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 can assert the notability of the subject,. Clicking that button 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 article's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

See the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. Syrthiss (talk) 14:38, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

A note regarding deletion
Note that I have deleted the article 'Gloria Trotter Needs A Kidney' under the A7 criteria for deletion, namely there was no credible importance or significance asserted for the band. Please review WP:MUSICBIO, and if you confirm that Gloria Trotter Needs A Kidney meets the notability criteria for inclusion outlined therein, I would suggest starting an article in your user subspace using the article wizard which will guide you through the creation process. This will give you extra time to work on the article at your leisure without worrying it will be immediately deleted. Once it is complete it can then be moved into article space. Note that a band that has never released an album on a notable label, and that has not received significant coverage in independent sources, will likely be deleted as not meeting Wikipedia's notability criteria. --Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 15:06, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
