Speedy deletion nomination of Protect the target


A tag has been placed on Protect the target 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) 14:50, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Information.svg|25px|]] Hello Zeb10man. I'm sorry but I had to delete the article you created, because it qualified for  speedy deletion, as it did not assert why this particular band is important or significant. This does not mean that your contributions here are not welcome! It's just that Wikipedia has rules regarding what qualifies for inclusion: in Wikipedia's jargon, only things that are notable can have articles written about them. Before recreating this article, please familiarise yourself with these rules. If you need anything, feel free to contact me on my talk page.  Salvio  Let's talk about it! 16:25, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Removing Speedy at Protect the target
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Protect the target, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 15:01, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Protect the target. Please use the template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 15:04, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Hang on
I moved your reasoning from the article to the article's talk page. You'll find it under the "Discussion" tab. However, I'll note it here as well - simply being a band doesn't make the group notable. We have two notability guidelines you should see - WP:GNG which is the general guideline for all subjects, and WP:MUSIC which is especially for bands. If the band doesn't meet these criteria, it isn't notable enough for inclusion and the article will most likely be deleted. Zakhalesh (talk) 15:11, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
