A tag has been placed on Points Mean Prizes, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears 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 an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add  on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) 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 the subject's notability under Wikipedia 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. number29 (Talk) 22:13, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Points Mean Prizes
You ask why the article Points Mean Prizes was deleted. Wikipedia has standards of notability that are required for articles on bands. I deleted this article because it indicated that the band did not meet this standard. As the article indicated, the band has not yet released a EP. Wikipedia does not cover every up and coming band, but only those that have arrived on at least a regional or national level. I also note that on my talk page you use the pronoun "we" to refer to the band, making me assume that you are involved in this band, which would be against Wikipedia's rules on conflict of interest. If, in the future, this bans gains chart success, performs concerts before large crowds, or attract critical notice, then other, third party sources, will write about them, and an article can then be written about this band.
