Welcome!
Hello, Thebootroom, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Johnny &, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Proposed deletion of Johnny 'Tub' Johnson (musician)


The article Johnny 'Tub' Johnson (musician) has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "I'm afraid this fails WP:BIO. I've searched for reliable sources and am unable to find any. The only sources here are for The Vibes and not Johnson himself."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.

 * Hi.
 * Thanks for reviewing the page so quickly, and yes, very helpful. I would love to get the Johnny Tub Johnson page right and I'm working through sources: I'm afraid this is my first page so I'm learning on the go. Could I move the page back into my sandbox to complete it and then submit it for review? The page is only at the beginning as most information comes when Johnson joins Thee Headcoats from 1990. If so, would this buy me time to make it conform?  Also, how long can it remain in the sandbox? Thanks in advance. Thebootroom (talk) 12:57, 21 January 2024 (UTC)


 * You could move it back to sandbox or even draftify it if you would like. Right now it fails WP:NBIO in that not a single one of your sources is about Johnson himself. They are all about bands Johnson has been in or Billy Childish specifically. ThaddeusSholto (talk) 15:58, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi. Thanks for that. I'll draftify it. I'll try to do it now, of if not, tomorrow morning. Thebootroom (talk) 22:11, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
