2000's fads and trends
please dont revert without explaining, especially when what you reverted was cited. there were earlier problems on that same page about reverting and citing. For example, reverting blackberry when it was cited.--Technofreak90 20:06, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Some of the anti-vandal tools don't provide a way to give an edit summary. See my note on the talk page. As a sidenote, I'm adding the additional tags to get the attention of others who can help out with finding sources and cleaning up some of the wording. I think the article has potential, so I'm hoping we can get it in good shape. Thanks for your work on it! Strom 22:03, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

"Dandy" (band)
Unfortunatly, although "Dandy" may be notable according to Sirius, it is not notable according to the standards laid out in WP:MUSIC. If you have any questions, put them on my talk page. Have a nice day. Dropal 01:57, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunatly, unless they have already recorded 2 studio albums with a major label, the guidelines don't consider them notable or something like that, just read the guidelines listed above. They'll tell you everything. Dropal 02:06, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Dandy (band), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. — P ilotguy (ptt) 04:10, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

American culture before and after 9/11
Hi, I saw your question on the Reference Desk from a few days ago. Your question was really interesting, but I don't think people answered what you asked about fads in music and fashion, so I wanted to add my two cents. I'm 22, and I don't think there was a huge shift in popular culture after 9/11. Of course, everyone is constantly saying that the political landscape changed significantly, but pop culture is a different matter.

In fashion and music, there are revivals of old styles every few years, as each generation attempts to reinterpret the past in new ways. The 1990s saw revivals of swing music and ska, for example. Members of the 1950s counterculture, the "beats", wore retro clothing from the 1920s. There was a big garage rock revival around 2001-2003, but the hype about The Strokes definitely began before September 11. So the most recent retro fads aren't necessarily a reaction to 9/11. If you've been reading articles claiming that there is a connection between retro fashion and 9/11, just keep in mind that retro revivals are a very common thing and have been going on for most of the last century.

Personally, although this is off-topic, I think the biggest influence in changing popular culture over the past 5 or 6 years has been the growth of the Internet. There was nothing like YouTube or MySpace when I was your age (wow, now I sound old). Websites like those enable rapid trading of ideas, and new fads seem to emerge every couple of weeks. Also: it's hard to imagine that, ten years ago, if you wanted to look up a simple fact like "when did Elvis die", you would have had to visit a library rather than idly checking Wikipedia. I know the Internet has changed my life in major ways.

I hope my comments shed some light on your interests. Thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia! --Grace 19:39, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Reform to the 2000s fads and trends page
Hi. Me and you edit the 2000s fads and trends in North America article very heavily–I was mostly editing 2006 back then. But since then I've been trying to think of ways to keep the articles clean and well kept, well cited, and look more encyclopedic. In doing so I was the one that moved our page from 2000s fads and trends to the current North American page because people didn't think it shared a worldwide view. So, since you edit it heavily I was wondering if you would support another new idea for a reconstruction idea for the article. Spliting it again into 3 parts --- American Pop Culture (2000 - 2003), American Pop Culture (2004 - 2006), and American Pop Culture (2007 - 2009). That way it would encompass not only fads and trends but other significant popular events in the short 3-4 year time spans. I think this should officially become the standard for these pop culture pages. I will be working on the early 2000s (2000 - 2003) first. (Tigerghost 10:22, 15 July 2007 (UTC))

Wilson the Volleyball
You've made contributions to Wilson the Volleyball. The article is now being considered for deletion. I am currently involved in giving the article a major overhaul to directly address Wilson's notability. And since you contributed information about Family Guy, I ask that you might provide me with your source for that information so I might add it to the article itself. Thank you,  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 05:29, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Oakley THUMP


The article Oakley THUMP has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Flash-in-the-pan gadget that doesn't seem to have been that notable even when it came out more than a decade ago. Article basically stagnant since 2007. No inline citations, and both external links are dead.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on |the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.  — PinkAmpers  &#38;  ( Je vous invite à me parler )  02:52, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
