[edit] Your query

I responded to your question on the new contributors' help page, just for the record. One thing I didn't mention there is that it's probably best to let others work on the article, as that way you avoid a conflict of interest issue. You're more than welcome to help out with shaping the article on its talk page - I'm sure you've got references to indicate the band's notability. Cheers! Tony Fox (arf!) 21:04, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of The Controllers (band)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on The Controllers (band), by L (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because The Controllers (band) seems 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.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting The Controllers (band), please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 21:36, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I've googled you

Dan, I got your phone message and gogled you etc, visiting several pages. Good luck to you and the Controllers. Kevin --67.119.90.98 16:29, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
