[edit] Notability of Graystar (UK)

A tag has been placed on Graystar (UK) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, 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 assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. --Finngall ^talk 22:00, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] graystar (uk)

Why did you delete the page I created for the indie band graystar? The band have been featured on many mainstream radio stations and music media, and are an established indie band. Can you give me a few pointers for creating a page that wont be delete? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dariusxx (talk • contribs) 22:13, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. In future, please sign your messages by typing ~~~~ at the end.

Graystar (UK) was deleted per item 7 under the Articles section of our criteria for speedy deletion, because it appeared to be an article about a band which did not assert its notability. Finngall already told you this on your talk page. You can recreate the article if you wish, as long as you can include citations from reliable sources which show how the band meets the guidelines for notability of bands. Sources are required under our verifiability policy.

I'm sorry if your first experience of Wikipedia hasn't been positive. Why not read Wikipedia:Your first article for more information on how to write here? I hope you continue to edit here. Stifle (talk) 11:12, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
