Speedy deletion nomination of Basstoneslap


A tag has been placed on Basstoneslap 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 band or musician, 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, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. Zakhalesh (talk) 11:59, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Please look at WP:BAND, WP:RS and WP:V. That's notability, reliable sources and verifiability. Thanks and good luck. Peridon (talk) 12:52, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Basstoneslap (Help)
Hi Xpnhwei - I've noted the the page you've created has been marked because it may not be notable. Can I suggest you take up the offer to have this put in your userspace for rework? You might want to consider adding the following information to help increase the page's notability: The band were seen on BBC's Dragon's Den (and also the follow up Where Are They Now shows) as you've noted, but footage could also be linked to via youtube. Its worth mentioning that Más Y Más have several albums and the work Richard K has done with the band. Also, might be of use to bring in Ceri Howell's pedigree as part of Old Basford (EPs out), Ulysses Storm (as heard several times on Radio 6 Music) and that he's part of the country's only Malay gamelan orchestra – Kayu Gangsa. Equally Dave Boston's other performance groups can add weight. I'd indicate that the band have performed for Science on Stage and all other renowned performances, (again to use TV, the Cadbury Wispa advert and all).

I'm sure there's other stuff you can add, but hopefully that will help get you started.

Cheers. SambaGaz (talk) 23:22, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
