Notable and relevant, wikipedia-worthy Jeffmcneill talk contribs 20:12, 25 October 2007 (UTC) This article's deletion was discussed with the administrator NawlinWiki on their talk page, without reaching agreement. The administrator recommended starting this process. There does not appear to be clear information in terms of what would make this article notable. Please see discussion. I am open to supplementing the article, but I don't want to put in the effort if the article is only going to get deleted again. --Jeffmcneill talk contribs 20:12, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Once and for all the question of what to do about reality TV winners needs to be determined. As can be seen from the deletion discussion, there is precedent that reality show winners, not just contestants, are notable enough for their own wikipages. I ask that many moderators review the relevant documentation. To start having some articles survive due to this precedent and others ignored when such precedent is presented does not leave Wikipedia in any more stable an environment.

Overturn (and relist if so desired). Some of the comments here have deprecated the value of the precedent-citing keep arguments. However, remember that there are also precedents favoring deletion. If there were an AFD for a reality show loser, for example, where the keepers argued that her role on a nationally-broadcast show made her notable, and the deleters cited precedent that mere contestants are non-notable, would you scornfully declare that it should be kept, since the delete arguments relied on precedent? Precedents are not a bad thing. They reduce the arbitrariness of XFD outcomes between similar topics. Accepting precedents also allows editors to move on, rather than rehashing the same arguments over and over. I don't agree with every precedent and guideline, but I don't constantly argue my positions like Badlydrawnjeff. However, the reason I think the result should be overturned is that I feel the debate was corrupted by the nominator's statement, which portrayed the subject as a "disqualified" reality show contestant, without noting that she was brought back for a second show that she won. If the nominator had said, "OK, she won, but we're not talking American Idol here; I don't think Flavor of Love: Charm School is important enough to keep its winners" (or "I disagree that reality show winners are notable, and I'd like to revisit that precedent"), and gotten the same result, I would accept that. But editors who relied on the nominator's statement without reading the article carefully could think she was just a losing contestant. None of the first five recommendations, all deletes, says, "she won, but delete anyway," so we can't assume they picked up on that. I believe these comments should be discounted. (One of these editors, fond of terse rationales, was commenting in nine AFDs in nine minutes.) Once it was pointed out that she actually won the second show, only two new contributors argued for deletion, one of them an account that had only been registered the day before. This suggests that fuller information had shifted the tide. --Groggy Dice T | C 03:00, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

In discussing the AFD with the closing admin, he acknowledges that he believes the keep arguments are weak but that had he deleted it, "enough people think AFD is a vote that it would likely be sent to DRV and overturned." I don't believe this is within the discretion of the closing admin. It's not up to the admin to contemplate what would or wouldn't happen at DRV and use that as a basis for the close decision. The keep arguments, while numerically superior, were as the closing admin noted weak and those wanting the article kept failed to answer repeated challenges to the reliability of the sourcing and the faulty notion that trivial mentions of the song title meet the requirements of WP:N. Note that one keeper switched sides in the course of the debate. Otto4711 18:48, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

She announced she has been signed by TNA wrestling, and I created an article on my userpage that is sourced and ready. Its at User:ThisDude62/sandbox. If Austin Creed can have an article, why not her? Thanks a lot. ThisDude62 01:09, 25 October 2007 (UTC) -->

This morning 25th October the entry/page for ATLANTA BOY BAND was deleted, this was after yesterday we stated all citation/evidence was now ready to be posted. This we did in good faith this morning, less than one hour after we posted our entry was deleted without any explanation. I can't trace the monitor who deleted now as the page is on longer active, only in archive. All evidence had been produced as requested even from HRH Prince Charles. Our entry is not for promotional purposes this has been accepted, but demonstrates the Notability achieved by Atlanta (Boy Band) - The required evidence to us comes from Most reliable sources such HRH Prince Charles private Secretary and the BBC. We have contacted parties who supplied the evidence posted and they are most disappointed at the deletion in this way. We trust it will be reviewed and restored fully. Many Thanks Atlanta Liverpool Boy Band 11:50, 25 October 2007 (Evidence posted at http://atlantaboyband.mysite.orange.co.uk/ UTC)JBS —Preceding unsigned comment added by Atlanta Liverpool Boy Band (talk • Atlanta Liverpool Boy Band 11:56, 25 October 2007 (UTC)JBScontribs)
Can I please ask if you are saying that the correspondence from The Private Secretary to HRH PRINCE CHARLES is not Evidence and are you still saying that HRH did not take a personal interest and they were not Young Ambassador's for The Prince's Trust? Are you also still claiming that Atlanta did not appear with BBC Radio One the UK's Number 1 National Radio Station, when you have been shown evidence of the event poster/flyer and artist backstage pass, the same with BBC Children's TV show "THE BIG BASH" at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, again photographic evidence and an artist back stage pass is not proof. We still have much more evidence to post, what more though is still required? Someone changed our entry/page just before deletion this morning, that is why it is shorter, we still claim the full original entry stands. The evidence has been produced and was this was stated prior to the deletion: http://atlantaboyband.mysite.orange.co.uk/ The Prince's trust do not keep evidence such as this on their website, that is the same with BBC Radio One and BBC TV, as they have far too much archive history, that is a decision they make. The evidence does prove ATLANTA (Boy Band) did exist, the HRH Prince Charles letter from his perosnal secretary mention RCA Records who we cut the track "One More Chance" with. All that was asked for has been produced. For an unsigned band in the UK, this is all notability and does meet the notability criteria set out. It would be of interest where the readers who still endorse the deletion to stand are from, do they understand British heritage and our culture completely? This matter has been put to Wikipedia to decide and it is now an important decision for them to make, what messages it sends out to the British public. We trust that WIKIPDEIA will look fairly on our appeal - thanks Atlanta Liverpool Boy Band 15:37, 25 October 2007 (UTC) Atlanta
Thanks for that technical information, the full original article submitted is intended. Thanks Atlanta Liverpool Boy Band 15:51, 25 October 2007 (UTC) Atlanta —Preceding unsigned comment added by Atlanta Liverpool Boy Band (talk • contribs)
Please tell us what is not qualified by the information that has been produced and published, we are willing to produce anything that is needed, we still feel we do meet the criteria set out, it is clearly stated you do not have to qualify with all points but some of. Atlanta Liverpool Boy Band 16:28, 25 October 2007 (UTC) Atlanta Both myself and Denny Mahoney from the Group are doing everything possible to meet what information is required. All we ask is for some readers we will see our honesty and help us in any way they can with helpful advice. Many readers/contributors have been given awards on this website, I wonder how many Rightful AWARDS we will be able to give to those who in a genuine way are willing to stand up and assist us, that is all we ask - Please - John B Sheffield 16:45, 25 October 2007 (UTC) JBS
I would like to know what self promotion of the Group or myself I am making, the group have not performed for ten years and the lead singer is in another band now. In my case I had serious surgery recently and will not currently unfortunately be able to return to work. So there is no self promoting interest I can assure you. The Group were asked to make the entry as it demonstrated the good works and achievements made by "The Prince's Trust" and the notability of Atlanta as an un-signed band also to mark ten years since there last appearance. Is it not please time that the decison was now left to the powers that be at WIKIPEDIA. Some mention is made of salt, why? - this should not be personal. Wikipdeia is a Free Encyclopedia not just for the few and not just the USA but the World John B Sheffield 17:13, 25 October 2007 (UTC) JBS
Thanks Mangojuice, your comments are most appreciated, personally just as their ex manager today I feel really "kicked in the teeth" by a few here. Some of the UK media are taking an interest in these debates and perhaps one of those will kindly make the entry for us, but they will only have the evidence we have produced, but we are still willing to obtain anything further that is needed. Personally I may be close to the matter, but it is from 1997, I do believe stronly in principals though and some things the group have been accused of have been proved wrong. John B Sheffield 18:00, 25 October 2007 (UTC) JBS
It was never my intention to upset anyone and the perceived threat of legal action, this was only we asked for advice, and was withdrawn with an apology. I have worked all my life in Commercial Radio in the UK and then in the later years in Artist Management, so I only will make statements what my trained background is. Through sickness I have not not worked since 2001 and recently had to have serious surgery, so it is not for any self promotion. We are trying to get permission to put up some of the documentary from TV on "youtube" but we would do nothing without permission. We have published the Mizz Teem Magazine Article, which is clear enough to read. Also poster and artist backstage pass from BBC Radio One Tour, this is the UK's Number One Music Radio Station, and a photograph of Atlanta on stage with BBC TV at the "Big Bash" and again the artist backstage pass, also the letter from the office of HRH Prince Charles, which again is clear to read, these are all available for inspection at: http://atlantaboyband.mysite.orange.co.uk/ These achievments are beyond doubt in the UK seen as notability for a band through circumstances that remained unigned and travelled 93,000 miles in UK Touring. All concerned have stated we will produce anything else that is requested, some assistance/advice here at Wikipedia has been given, and that means so much to all of us. Regards John B Sheffield 06:42, 26 October 2007 (UTC) JBS
The creator and myself have always used good faith, I can sincerely assure you and I myself and on behalf of the creator completely withdraw fully any legal threats that may have been made without reservation. The creator tried to reply but is no longer allowed to post?. In good Faith I still feel the matter can be resolved, that is what Wikipdeia should be all about, I understand deletion quickly over anything "libel" or "lies" and the press in the UK have mentioned cases including professional footballers person lives, but with music it would have been really good to see more help, when you are new to WIKIPEDIA working around it is like a minefield and a lot of information rules to be taken in - thanks once more John B Sheffield 07:40, 26 October 2007 (UTC) JBS
Thanks "Mangojuice" for your constructive comments, as always. I have looked at the entry for Monovox, I notice the first citation/reference was to their own website, which Atlanta got attacked for as not relevant. The main difference in opinion with regards be it BBC Radio One or Mizz Magazine is the culture difference here in the UK, to achieve this ffor an unsiogned band is unknown, many bands try everything but never make this high level. The TV Documentary I stand by what Atlanta says this is the truth and it will be fully proved when we have permission to post some of the footage. It does hurt when you have had a good name and repuation all your life in Radio and Music to be doubted like this. But we appreciate the advice and help you are giving us, we will still continue to publish on the website any further evidence required, we hope to have more to be posted early next week. We still Trust our entry will be allowed and restored, any help assistance anyone feel they can give will mean so much. John B Sheffield 12:43, 26 October 2007 (UTC) JBS
Again you say the only item we have produced other than the BBC Radio 1 material and BBC TV material is MIZZ Magazine, what about the letter from Kensington Palace from HRH? which made reference to going to see ATLANTA in concert for "The Prince's Trust" and reporting back to HRH? - agai not every band/group gets to appear in events they organzie in the UK, a cts are chosen, you do not request to appear. I know many colleagues friends who are Artist Managers here in the UK and they would give anything to achieve what ATLANTA did and many of their acts were signed. I do not see the work published so far as trivial and the TV Documentary was not. In the past twenty years I have seen Three programmes on UK TV about Boy Bands, one of those as "Take That" - once we are given permission, it will be posted on "YouTube" I have today checked many music group/band websites here on WIKIPEDIA many of them in the USA and so many only cite their own websites for information. I keep repeating we will produce anything asked for. John B Sheffield 17:00, 26 October 2007 (UTC) JBS
The Atlanta article is truth, proves notability and is accurate, meeting clearly without doubt many of the "criteria" needed, it is stated all criteria do not have to be met, we are just going around in circles on these points. We stress will produce any further proof needed if people will ask for some particular form of evidence. Yes I could nominate articles that fall short, but I admit I don't know sufficient about the music industry in the USA and how it works, what is seen as notability in the States or Canada, to do tha in this case would be wrong, but I do feel I know about Great Britain, that is said in a most sincere way. John B Sheffield 17:33, 26 October 2007 (UTC) JBS
As I have stated we will produce further proof early next week, cuttings etc have been sent to the creator today and on receipt will be scanned and posted. Authors of articles in press and magazines are not always credited, that is format in the UK, but dates should be no problem. "No one so far on this deletion review agrees with your assessment of the notability criteria are met" - if every piece of information needed or required is published, will or would it be still sufficient? - I do hope so.
Thanks Mangojuice, we will continue to source more of what is required, I think it would be most wrong of Wikipedia to say "never" to any entry, otherwise it will never develop fully and be "The Free Encyclopeda" it claims to be. John B Sheffield 06:11, 27 October 2007 (UTC) JBS
We will provide the further detailed informed you advise, this has been passed to the creator by email this morning, thanks John B Sheffield 06:11, 27 October 2007 (UTC) JBS
Please note with regards your "allegation" of a "Violation" of WP:V Self-published and questionable sources in articles about themselves Policy shortcut: WP:SELFPUB Material from self-published and questionable sources may be used as sources in articles about themselves, so long as: it is relevant to their notability; it is not contentious;
Comment Deletion - Question: Can someone please advise me if anyone has the right to delete a comment that I have made, if so should it be stated that is the case, would this show in a log or archive. A commment made last night seems to be no longer on the thread? Thanks John B Sheffield 08:29, 29 October 2007 (UTC) JBS
Many thanks for your quick response and help John B Sheffield 09:05, 29 October 2007 (UTC) JBS
BBC TV - CBBC(Children's BBC)"BIG BASH" - The "Big Bash" took place at the NEC(National Exhibition Centre) from the 28th November - 2nd December 1996 - ATLANTA were part of the event appearing and performing each day, links and live interviews live on TV took place every day(see picture of Atlanta being interviewed live on TV stage) We have also added 2 more ATLANTA tracks recorded to master standard to the player on the Atlanta site. "Let's Go Round Again" which was writteb by Alan Gorrie of "Average White Band", Alan also came into the studio and did a mix with his voclas on as well. Also "One More Chance" the version we orginally recorded and took to Simon Cowell RCA Records, RCA still hold the master of the version they recorded with Atlanta.
