Thanks for the note. I took a look at the DAME article. Alas, it seems to be a copyright violation from mp3.com so it can not be recreated. Additionally, articles in Wikipedia must be written in a neural tone and have balanced coverage of their subject. As such, bands usually have to be covered farily well by non-trivial, independent, reliable sources to be included in Wikipedia. Not all bands have received independent coverage to allow for inclusion in Wikipedia (see WP:BAND for a basic guideline). If you do want to contribute an article on this band, it is critical that (i) it be in your own words (ii) it be written in a neutral tone (see WP:NPOV for more information), and (iii) it shows the band meets the criteria in WP:BAND. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thanks, --TeaDrinker (talk) 20:59, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. I looked over the article you wrote, which was deleted (deleted article are still viewable by administrators). The code CSD G11 is criteria for speedy deletion General criteria number 11: Advertising. You can check with the admin who deleted the page this time, Nishkid64 (talk·contribs), but I strongly suspect that the issue is one of notability. We get a lot of articles about bands, so the band needs to show notability of a fairly substantial measure. (Two CDs released on a major label, for instance, see WP:BAND for details) Coverage in a local magazine is good, although usually some more substantial coverage is needed.
The {{hangon}} tag is placed by simply editing the article and putting it below the speedy deletion notice. To do so, just click the "edit this page" tab and type {{hangon}} under the deletion notice and save the edit. All it does is alert the administrator that some explanation is required. You can add that explanation to the article talk page, Talk:DAME (just click the "discussion" tab in the article at the top of the page). The page can be, and often is, still deleted. But the hangon tag alerts the admin to do a more careful investigation.
As far as what we can do from here, if you have a collection of sources which indicate the band's notability, I can recreate the article and you can add them. The article still might be deleted (most often under the articles for deletion process which is more lengthy than speedy deletion). Otherwise your best bet would be to request a deletion review (there are instructions on the page for how to do this).
