Speedy deletion nomination of Deadly Steel
[edit]A tag has been placed on Deadly Steel, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. 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. ialsoagree (talk) 22:35, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Why Deadly Steel was Deleted
[edit]I noticed your post on the speedy steel talk page and wanted to let you know why the article was deleted. The band does not appear to be very notable, they (you?) are unsigned and do not have any news worthy references. The references for the article itself was the facebook page of the band. For more information, please see Wikipidia's guideline on notability. Specifically, see the section entitled Self-promotion and indiscriminate publicity. This gives the impression that the article was there to promote awareness of the band, rather than to report on an already notorious band. If you have other questions, please feel free to ask on my talk page, or ask your question on your talk page and add {{helpme}} before your question. ialsoagree (talk) 23:05, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
