From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

hey guys, i have since formatted the page, changed to NPOV and removed initial external linking, and placed any at the bottom under "External Links"

Hello. I am assuming this article was suggested for speedy deletion because it wasn't notable enough. This may or may not be true, I think the criteria for bands can be found at WP:MUSIC, if I'm not mistaken. Did the band ever make the Top 20 charts or whatever in Canada? A Google search for Iso:lation Tank only came up with 233 hits, so it's doubtful the band is notable enough. It's my opinion that this article will be deleted (I can't do it, I'm not an admin), unless the band had some hit single that sold one million or something like that. I know, it sucks when an article that you created, nurtured, and brought to life gets shut down. It's happened to me three times. Useight 00:50, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

well, it's a bit bizarre that there are numerous drum and bass labels that are out there, digital, CD, vinyl, whatever... and they are able to have, and retain wikipedia pages without having a top 10, top 100, or even top 1000 'hits' on the pop music charts. electronic music doesn't make it to billboard unless it's DJ Tiesto or Armand Van Heldon or whatever, right? i know you're just giving information, but realistically this is supposed to be the largest encyclopedia so why delete things? i personally don't care as far as the work's concerned if it gets deleted, and i don't own the label or anything so it won't offend me there either, but i think it would be a bit ridiculous to delete it when the label has had a good amount of sales to my knowledge, has a number of international producers/DJs on the roster, each of which is very well known in their area of the world for drum and bass music.

at any rate, my pointing out reasons for this article to be NOT deleted won't have much bearing if the label has to have top 10 or 20 hits. that's generally impossible with drum and bass music in general - which is why i'm wondering how other dnb labels get their wikipedia pages on here.

oh, the reason on the page says that it's blatent advertising, i forgot that. not that it's non-notable. anyways, i didn't create the page i just fixed it to be NPOV, and to have a list of releases. Murasameneku 13:16, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
