Speedy deletion nomination of Kieran Strange


A tag has been placed on Kieran Strange 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 person or group of people, 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, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. Eeekster (talk) 00:01, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

Kieran Strange
Notability for musicians is not just a matter of being able to provide sources which attest to their existence; although that's obviously a necessary condition, it's not sufficient by itself if those sources don't adequately demonstrate that the person actually passes some of the specific criteria listed at WP:NMUSIC.

For example, it's not enough to merely be nominated for an award; if she met several other criteria listed at NMUSIC, then a mere nomination would be fine — but if the article's primary claim of notability is going to rest on the award itself, then she actually has to win it to be notable on that basis alone, because the award just isn't as prominent or as established as, say, the Junos or the Grammies — and the award wasn't even necessarily for music itself, so much as for using social media in an interesting and innovative way. And the depth of coverage matters, too; if all you've got is Vancouver's local commuter paper, then that just isn't wide enough coverage to count as significant yet. Almost every single working musician in North America can probably say they've been written about in local media, but that doesn't make them all sufficiently notable for our purposes here.

I'm sure that if she's good enough to place so strongly in a "people's choice"-type award vote, then she'll surely be notable enough for an article on here soon enough — but as written, that version of the article just wasn't quite up to snuff yet. Bearcat (talk) 04:45, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

New 10,000 Challenge for Canada
Hi, WikiProject Canada/The 10,000 Challenge is up and running based on The 10,000 Challenge for the UK which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. If you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Canada like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1600 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for Canada but fuelled by a contest such as The North America Destubathon to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. I would like some support from Canadian wikipedians here to get the Challenge off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile! Cheers. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 01:55, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
