Speedy deletion nomination of Whirly Pites


A tag has been placed on Whirly Pites 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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. E. Fokker (talk) 00:30, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Whirly Pites
Hi Xrazlox.

I deleted the article mentioned in he header because, unfortunately, the band does not appear to meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Basically, to be included, an article has to show why the subject is notable. The best way to do this is to reference the article to reliable sources. Most bands when they just start out are not notable, simply because there are so many bands that major sources like Rolling Stone and so forth can't review all of them. Of course, getting signed to a significant label usually generates some buzz, so that would work too.

I hope that I have adequately explained why I deleted the article. If you have any questions, feel free to ask on my talk page. I wish you and your band the best of luck, and I hope that I have not disinclined you from editing Wikipedia.
