Speedy deletion nomination of Ermine (band)
edit
A tag has been placed on Ermine (band) 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 or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles 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 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.

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Wikipedia:Your first article. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Please review WP:BAND and please don't engage in edit warring. PMDrive1061 (talk) 01:27, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
Hi, Chuck. It looks as if a fine new article has already been created. It's just that there are literally hundreds of articles on non-notable bands created here each week and which are just as quickly deleted; your original draft came off that way. You managed to pull off a beauty. You've both established notability and avoided conflicts of interest as well. Thank you for letting me know about your concern and thank you for being so gracious about it. My apologies for creating extra work for you. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 15:31, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
- Looks as if there's a lot of space for expansion. You could start with the lone reference and add some more material from that link, or you could do a quick Google search along the lines of "New Brunswick music" and see what comes up. One of this site's coolest credos is to simply be bold and edit as you see fit. Given your involvement, I can't think of anyone better qualified to make the article really shine. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 03:09, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
It sure is. If you love to write, this is the place. You can't really do any creative writing due to the nature of the sites and the manual of style, but it's terrific exercise for other types of serious writing. I just had fun doing a serious article on a fun subject, namely Hurst Hairy Olds. How much fun is a twin-engined exhibition dragster, anyway? :) In fact, I know a gentleman who was involved with the early development, but I'll need to find something online which mentions his involvement. Like I said: Fun! I have to log out, but feel free to leave word and I'll get back to you the next time I log on. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 03:20, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
