Errr Just Jack is possibly/probably about to have the first new UK number 1 in 2007? How can he not have a page????

why is it not possible to recreate this page? Just Jack is an emerging dance music artist who's set to be big in the UK this year, I can't see why someone has seen fit to prevent the creation of an article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.106.198.15 (talk)

Agreed, Just Jack is a lot more popular than some of the musicians which have their own page on Wikipedia, the single "Starz in their Eyes" looks set for a prominent place in the UK Singles Chart this week, they definitely deserve a page. WHirl 19:18, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

This page must be re-created now, his single reached number 4 in the national chart today. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jet2006 (talk • contribs).

The way the page was originally written must have met common guidelines on speedy deletion (e.g. failing to assert notability), and was recreated a few times in rapid succession. For the page to be recreated, you need to write some content (offline) that will appear suitable for inclusion on Wikipedia, and contact an administrator that such content exists (by putting it in your user space at User:Jet2006/Sandbox) and needs to be placed for inclusion. In general, the content should meet the following guidelines:

• Contain assertions of notability as described at WP:NOTE
• Utilize multiple refernces or third-parties independant of the subject.
• Avoid rumours or other "crystal-ball" claims (WP:CRYSTAL.

If you can convince an administrator to undelete the page (preferably at the deletion review page), you'll be free to write the content. --Sigma 7 21:56, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

(edit conflict, but probably still useful) Just Jack almost certainly meets the notability guidelines for musicians. He's been the subject of articles in Metro and The Observer, been on national rotation on major radio networks (he's on the A list on Radio 1 at the time of writing (source)) and, as the above contributor mentioned, he has had a charted hit on a national music chart.

I'm removing the protection and recreation block. The subject's single is on heavy rotation on most UK radio stations, and that certainly qualifies them as notable. -- The Anome 11:08, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

His song, writer's block, is also being used for the Le Printemps du Cinéma 2007 ads in France.
