Speedy deletion nomination of O'Leary (band)


A tag has been placed on O'Leary (band), requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of 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 this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

The following is copied from Talk:O'Leary (band), as that page may well be deleted before this editor gets to see the response left there.

Contested deletion
This page should not be speedily deleted because... (O'Leary is a legitmate band and the page has enough real world citations to verify all the claims made within the article) --Thecanadianmusicwriter (talk) 14:04, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
 * None of the "real world citations" are independent of the band itself. They consist entirely of Youtube videos posted by the band, Facebook events notices, the band's own website, and announcements of the band's appearances at certain venues.  Get us some significant, independent coverage and you might have something.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:30, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
