[edit] Long Island Music Hall of Fame

Long Island Music Hall of Fame (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Speedy deletion for spam was overturned at WP:DRV [1] and is now here for full consideration. Procedural listing, so I have no opinion. ~ trialsanderrors 09:35, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Created by an account with no other purpose. WP:SPAM. Wikifying the article does not make it any less spam, unverified or non-notable. Keep The article has been properly sourced now and looks much better. Thanks for proving me wrong, maybe I should use that as motivation more often! MartinDK 09:46, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

• I was already planning on updating it per my comments in the DRV. Proving you wrong was just a fortunate side effect. *Spark* 22:14, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. I don't think it reads spammy at all, and whether or not the editor who created it is an SPA is irrelevant. For what it's worth, it has received multiple non-trivial media attention, so "notability" doesn't seem to be a problem either. --badlydrawnjeff talk 11:45, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment If you are able to source the article then go ahead and do so. There were people at deletion review who also claimed that this could be sourced but did anything happen afterwards? No... as usual. MartinDK 11:54, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
    • I'll source the article if you change your recommendation. An offer you can't refuse! d;-) --badlydrawnjeff talk 12:00, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment The article was restored less than 3 hours ago. How much progress do you expect? *Spark* 12:04, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep As stated in the DRV above, the article needs sourcing, not deletion. Check the DRV for the list of notable sources before deleting. *Spark* 12:04, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment If the article is sourced according to what was said at deletion review I'll withdraw my delete. Until then it stays based on past experience with promises of improvement at AfD. Prove me wrong, there is a challenge you can't refuse! ;) MartinDK 12:10, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as long as it's sourced properly using the information brought forward in the DRV. Tony Fox (arf!) 21:03, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as a notable (and verifiable) organization. --cholmes75 ^{(chit chat)} 21:24, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
