Speedy deletion nomination of The Video Blues Band or VBB

A tag has been placed on The Video Blues Band or VBB requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. elektrik SHOOS 02:58, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on The Video Blues Band or VBB requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia 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. De728631 (talk) 12:43, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and good day. Please note that reliable references should first of all be added by the author of an article in a section below the main text. And Facebook is not regarded as a reliable source per Wikipedia policy, so you would have to find multiple independent sources that document the importance of your band, such as news reports or magazine articles (all of which should be verifiable). With only the band's homepage as a source I can foresee the article being nominated for deletion again. And for general guidelines, please see WP:Notability (music). Moreover please read WP:COI, as you are involved in the subject you're writing about.

Another thing would be the title of your article. "The Video Blues Band" is sufficient enough, we don't mention abbreviations in a title when there's a full name available. VBB can easily be mentioned in the lead section of the article.

Oh, and last but not least, please sign your contributions to Wikipedia talk pages (not article sites!) by typing four tildes ~~~~. That will add your username and a timestamp. Regards, De728631 (talk) 17:19, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
