[edit] Spinebuster (band)

Hey!

Not to get on your case or anything here, but your logic behind deleting a lengthy article detailing the history of a well-known band in the thriving Glasgow metal scene seems pretty questionable to me.

Admittedly, I am a member of the band in question (a quick glance at my username makes this fairly obvious), but I did not write the article - it was submitted and brought to my attention by someone else in the local music scene. I watched it on the "Articles For Approval" page for a while, and it looked as though it was going to be one of the masses of overlooked articles receiving neither a thumbs up or a thumb down, so I copy and pasted it up myself immediately under a registered username.

I was going to use this article as a starting point to write a good few articles about the growing music scene here in Scotland, which is so far poorly represented on Wikipedia, but if they're going to just get erased for what seems like no really good reason every time then it's obviously not worth the hassle. Quick decision-making like this surely must be very off-putting to a lot of new contributors, and so stifling to the growth of Wikipedia?

Thanks! ---- —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Joe.spinebuster (talk • contribs) 20:18, 15 April 2006 (UTC).

Thanks for your message. In future, please sign your messages by typing ~~~~ at the end.
Spinebuster (band) was speedily deleted by both me and JDoorjam because it was, or appeared to be, an article about a band which does not assert that band's notability or importance. Wikipedia is not for advertising new up-and-coming bands or the growing music scene. Please see some details about what bands need to get onto Wikipedia. They should first get notable, then get an article.
If you feel that I have erred in judgment, please make a listing on Wikipedia:Deletion review. Thanks! Stifle (talk) 22:01, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
