Speedy deletion nomination of The monacles


A tag has been placed on The monacles 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, 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; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. jsfouche &#9789;&#9790; Talk 20:17, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

You need to add a question, so we can answer...!  Ron h jones (Talk) 20:35, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I guess your question is about the deletion of your article. The reason is actually explained in the notice above: the article doesn't show why this band is important or significant enough to have an entry in an encyclopedia. Wikipedia is selective: article subjects have to be notable, which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." The last three references were about somebody's father, and not relevant; the first was the band's own Myspace, so not independent; the only relevant one was a listing showing that they had been to a festival. Not enough: see WP:BAND for what a band need to have achieved before they can have a Wikipedia article. Sorry; when the band hits the big time, one of its fans will write an article about it. Meanwhile, there's good advice in WP:Your first article. Regards, --JohnCD (talk) 21:36, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
