[edit] Speedy deletion of The Torture Chamber of Dr. Sadism

A tag has been placed on The Torture Chamber of Dr. Sadism 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, 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 indicate the subject's importance or significance 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.

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), coupled with adding a note on the 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Vianello (talk) 05:48, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] May 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from The Torture Chamber of Dr. Sadism, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Vianello (talk) 05:58, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Advice on getting your page set up

Unfortunately, m'friend, having a homepage doesn't make a band notable. ANYONE can have a webpage. The real core truth of the matter is summed up in this statement from WP:notability: "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be notable." Have any independent, reliable sources covered your band? If so, by all means re-create the page and add proper citations for them! If not, I'm afraid the group simply isn't Wikipedia-worthy. But hey, maybe some day, right? - Vianello (talk) 06:32, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
