User talk:Elfbug
A tag has been placed on Kwisp, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears 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 an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
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 page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), 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. Oli Filth 00:01, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Fifty Foot Hose
[edit]Hello. You added a source for information about the influence of Fifty Foot Hose. I reverted your addition. The source does not support the claim that FFH was "best known for their rather large influence on experimental music". I think this sentence is too extreme a claim for there to possibly be a citation for it, so I am going to remove it. The sentence following, which your source actually addresses, also does need a citation since your citation is simply a claim by Mike Rowell that these bands claim FFH as an influence. I don't think your linked site qualifies as a "reliable, third-party published source[s] with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy"; does it? Take a look at WP:CITE and WP:VERIFY for more info on citations. Ideally, an interview with each band claiming this influence would be good sources. Cheers, Doctormatt 02:21, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
