A tag has been placed on Greg Earnest, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, 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 assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. —C.Fred (talk) 15:32, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as D. Keith Morris, to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Please ensure that articles about musicians meet the guidelines for notability and that reliable sources back up the claims for notability. Additionally, please see the autobiography guidelines and why it is a bad idea to write articles about yourself and your bandmates. —C.Fred (talk) 15:35, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
- Note that I have allowed the article on The Dappled Grays to stand, because there are assertions of notability—the award from Creative Loafing and the airplay on MTV. However, I have tagged it as an {{Autobiography}} because you, a band member, have written the article. —C.Fred (talk) 15:41, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
The article The Dappled Grays has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Fails WP:BAND. No major reviews or chartings etcetera.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
