From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A tag has been placed on Rhombus (band), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Halloween jack (talk • contribs) 10:03, 21 November 2007

I deleted the article not for spam reasons (since you had improved the article since that warning was placed on it) but because the article did not assert that the band was notable, which is another of the speedy deletion criteria. See the guidelines at Wikipedia:Notability (music) for what articles on bands need to contain, with handy suggestions at User:Dihydrogen Monoxide/Satisfying music notability guidelines. Feel free to try again, perhaps in a sandbox page first (click on this red-link User:Sodium uk/sandbox and work on it there, until you're happy with it, then move it to the main space using the "move" tab at the top of that page) so that it doesn't "go live" and risk being tagged for speedy deletion. Let me know if I can help further. Regards, Bencherlite^Talk 00:23, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
