[edit] Band

Please take a look at Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion, criterion A (articles) 7. Cheers, Tangotango (talk) 17:15, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

P.S. To be more specific, the article did not assert the notability of the band. - Tangotango (talk) 17:19, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

A7 seems to contradict the first paragraph of the Wikipedia:Notability (music) policy. In any case, I am asking you to please restore the page so that I can improve the article. I am ready to re-write the article to ensure it meets Wikipedia quality standards and notability. There are dozens of outside references to cite. A good article on this band will make Wikipedia a better encyclopedia. If you do not restore the article and no one else will, then I will start from scratch. It doesn't seem fair to make me start from scratch when there was a perfectly good beginning of an article going. Thank you. Iradub 17:36, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Actually, A7 doesn't contradict it; the emphasis is on assertion of notability. In any case, the Notability page is a guideline, not a policy. Your article is now restored and is up for deletion; please join in the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bad Flirt (band). Thanks, Tangotango (talk) 18:44, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
