[edit] On The Make
Page creator requests deletion, not G7ish due to other edits. In spite of that, there are no sources, and I'm not convinced of the band being notable. Maxim 23:58, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

- I apologize if I did not use the proper category, though I would contend that no one other than myself has made "significant" edits to the page, all other edits have been fixes of spelling mistakes and things of that nature, all of which I thought were insignificant. I wrote this article over a year ago, it is now outdated, unsourced, and most importantly, the band does not meet notability guidelines. I created this article prematurely and without carefully reviewing Wikipedia's guidelines for such articles. I apologize for that, and I felt the best thing to do to try and set that right was to put it up for speedy deletion. Again, apologies if I did not use the proper category for speedy deletion, though I feel that G7 applies and that, in addition to G7, it meets other clear criteria for speedy deletion.

- No need to apologize, you did use the correct speedy criteria. As you say, you are the only editor who has added substantial content to the article, so this is a G7. The speedy tag shouldn't have been removed. Masaruemoto 00:56, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

- Strip away all the fancy language and this is a high school band that hasn't done anything. Clear delete. humblefool® 00:21, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
- Delete fails WP:BAND with flying colours. Not only haven't they released an album on a major label; they haven't even released an album commercially. Bigdaddy1981 00:30, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

- Honestly, I'm quite embarrased that I posted the articles about this band (the one about the band and their one album to date) in the first place, and then forgot about this article for so long. The band is just that - a high school band that has done nothing notable - in fact, a band that hasnt done ANYTHING at all in over two years. Honestly I'm not sure what I was thinking at the time - my face was pretty red when I realized this article was still around. Pycine 00:41, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
- Comment; This is a G7 if the author is requesting deletion, since Pycine is the only editor who has added "substantial content" to the article. All the other edits have been minor corrections. Go ahead and tag it if you want. Masaruemoto 00:50, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

- In this case, should I re-apply the speedy deletion tag to the article? (Sorry if I'm asking dumb questions, I'm just trying to do this correctly) Pycine 01:19, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
- Another editor has tagged it now so no need to. It would be OK to re-add a speedy tag if it's been removed in a good-faith error, especially for an article like this which probably won't be a contested AFD anyway. Masaruemoto 01:52, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
