Speedy deletion nomination of The Pines (band), not quite blues, not quite country, not quite rock, not quite folk band

A tag has been placed on The Pines (band), not quite blues, not quite country, not quite rock, not quite folk band, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Speedy deletion nomination of The Pines (band)

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on The Pines (band) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

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 article (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. Singularity42 (talk) 23:08, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

OK. I am learning.

I understand that the page for The Pines was incomplete, but from reading the rules about bands, I think they are a legitimate posting for Wikipedia. They have 2 CDs on Red House Records, which is on Wikipedia and most alternative/folk fans would consider a major label. Do you agree? If so, I'll work on filling in the content on my personal site before uploading to the live site. Again, I am learning.

That might meet WP:BAND. Why don't you create a draft of the article at User:DoctorJava/The Pines (band) to get it started. If you want, you ask me or another editor for a second opinion before it goes to main article space. Singularity42 (talk) 02:40, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
