[edit] Speedy deletion of Gayle Day
A tag has been placed on Gayle Day 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, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you.
- I've removed the CSD notice on this article, as the fact that the subject coordinated a major music festival is a claim of notability. However, if reliable sources (news articles and such) aren't forthcoming, someone might nominate the article for deletion via the WP:AFD process. Good luck, and let me know if I can be of any assistance. Best, UltraExactZZ Claims ~ Evidence 18:32, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

- I've done the same to the second article, under the same conditions - independent, reliable sources are needed to document the claimed notability. Best, UltraExactZZ Claims ~ Evidence 00:24, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Speedy deletion of Bad girrls studios
A tag has been placed on Bad girrls studios, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.

- I've added the hang-on tag. What is the proper method for introducing an article as a stub? I am not intending to post articles as advertising, I am trying to create entries that document notable feminist events in the world of art and music, which by their very nature get less press than they might otherwise and are therefore harder to document. Bad Girrls Studios for instance was a well known art space in Boston in the late 90s - even now a search engine will provide numerous references to events held there. The quality of these references may not meet WP standards, but the subject certainly should be considered notable. Suggestions for improving the quality of the articles are welcome; but I would request that the tag be changed from db-spam to ref-improve. Thank you.
