[edit] Skitsoy

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Skitsoy, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Skitsoy. You may remove the deletion notice, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

I just read the section "notability concerns" twice. The article met almost all of those criteria. Everything that was summed up there was in the article... Does somebody actually read an article before they stamp "deletion" on it ? The band is an offspring of what was Belgians biggest metal export act a few years ago, this new project is just getting started and they have already an album out, have performed with many top international acts, have been repeatadly on television shows both in europe and canada, have worked with a multiple grammy awarded producer, and recently won the biggest european rock contest...how does that clash with notability ? I can understand that if someone from africa reads the article, they don't have a clue who or what this band is and can come up with such a conclusion, but what gives such a person the right to decide upon this ? The article was factual, there were no lies being told, so notability concerns does not hold much water. Isn't the idea of wikipedia to provide information for those who seek it ? So why would deletion of a perfectly reasonable article benefit wikipedia ? I agree that there is much junk on wikipedia and a cleanup process is needed, but this deletion really baffles me, as do the reasons why. To answer your question, yes I would like to contest the prod !

The article has been restored as a contested prod. The article, however, may be still liable for an articles for deletion nomination. Please improve on the article with reliable sources to reduce such likelihood of deletion. - Mailer Diablo 17:35, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
