Speedy deletion of Danny and the spacemen
A tag has been placed on Danny and the spacemen 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, 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 indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. KurtRaschke (talk) 19:51, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Just as a lil' heads-up
I noticed you protesting the deletion of the page mentioned above, and I just wanted to bring to your attention that the issue was probably notability, not 'credibility', as you said. Anybody can have a MySpace page, so that's not a good way to establish notability, and one person claiming to have seen the group doesn't establish notability or credibility. If you want to give the article another shot, I'd take a good look at the page I linked there, especially |notability criteria for musicians/ensembles. If you can provide a reference that satisfies even one of these criteria, the page has a chance of staying for at least a while. Best of luck, and contact me if you have any questions. - Vianello (talk) 20:05, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, shoot. In that case, I think you're going to have a VERY hard time demonstrating the group's notability, unfortunately. Sorry! But understanding notability criteria will be a huge help in writing future pages, so it's still good to get familiar with the concept. It'll help you avoid wasting time or effort later. Best of luck! - Vianello (talk) 20:14, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
