Cyril Havermans

A tag has been placed on Cyril Havermans, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article 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 Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) 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 confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. adavidw 00:10, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I see the page has already been deleted. Cyril Havermans was a member of the internationally famous rock group Focus - surely this is notable. I'll grant that Wikipedia should not have a page for every recorded musician, but we're talking about someone who had a single that reached #9 on both the American and Dutch charts.

"Having checked the page with guidelines for 'notability' of musicians, I've found one sufficient criterion is: "Has had a charted hit on any national music chart." It seems clear to me that Focus and its members qualify for notability. Aiwendil42 04:47, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've listed the article at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cyril Havermans. This is usually a five day process, so this will give you chance to make the case for notability before it gets speedy deleted again. --adavidw 08:10, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Aiwendil42! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 343 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:
