One man band with no significant coverage. No charted albums; fails WP:BAND. Also appears to be written by COI author.  Triplestop  x3  00:26, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

"One man band with no significant coverage. No charted albums; fails WP:BAND. Also appears to be written by COI author. Triplestop x3 00:26, 3 November 2009 (UTC)"

First of all, please expand on why you think it is written by a COI author. Second, based on the Wikipedia guidelines for notability, inclusion of an article on wikipedia based on importance should be determined on a case by case basis, and those guidelines are meant to be used with discretion. Third, there is evidence to support notability of Ben's Imaginary Band in several verifiable sources written and statistical and I have reason to believe that a full search for these sources was not conducted before the request for deletion was applied.

Thank you.

 * I did do a search, and there was no significant coverage.  Triplestop  x3  01:13, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Kindly expand on how you see there to be a Conflict of Interest in this article. It seems somewhat hypocritical for an online encyclopedia to disregard its own medium (the internet, that is) as evidence. This I must admit is my first major inclusion to Wikipedia, as I like the band and was surprised to find no information about it on here.

Thanks.

P.S. @Triplestop, I am curious as to how you find the verifiability of these two musicians; they are what the article I wrote was based on. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casiotone_for_the_Painfully_Alone

 * Delete: I can't find significant coverage for this musician. Joe Chill (talk) 03:08, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Hello, I'm the original creator of this article; after further reading the wiki guidelines for notability I can see that this musician is in no way notable, and thus would like its speedy removal. I also apologize for assuming you didn't do a full search, Triplestop, though I would suggest using a constructive tone rather than a derisive one, as you never know when the article you are scrutinizing is someone's first.
