Proposed deletion of The (original) Rolling Stones

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article The (original) Rolling Stones, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Unencylopedic opinon/conspiracy theory

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

About your comments on Talk: The (original) Rolling Stones.

First of all, when a deletion discussion in under way, the right place to post your comments is on the project page dedicated to said discussion, so that every participant will see them. That page is linked to on the deletion template at the top of your article.

This said, I saw that you are requesting help, so let me point you in the right direction.

1. You stated that the original band has no claim of notability. According to our policy on notability, this is the final argument against the existence of an article dedicated to that band. However, all is not lost: you may insert a short reference to that band into an existing article, provided that you can give a reliable source attesting to the band's existence, and provided also that such a reference does not unduly overwhelm the article in which you are inserting it.
2. You also asked what about validation. Memorabilia and oral testimonies are not acceptable as references, nor are blogs, forums, or any website that accepts input from anyone. (Ironically, that means even Wikipedia itself is not accepted as a reference!) What we are looking for is something non-trivial from a source that is generally considered reliable. (Since you are in the UK, that would mean that if you have a newspaper clipping, if it is to be regarded as a reliable source, it would have to come from a newspaper that is known all over the UK, and preferably known in the US, Canada and Australia as well, such as the London Times, or even the Daily Mirror. Neighborhood newspapers are generally not considered reliable, since verification is always problematic, and, more importantly, they speak about topics that are only of local interest.) By non-trivial, I mean something that is more than just a passing mention.

If none of these criteria can be met, then I'm afraid the original Rolling Stones cannot be mentioned anywhere in Wikipedia. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 22:19, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

I'm still struggling!

I don't seem to have got off to a very good start! I recently had an article deleted (The (original) Rolling Stones) because it was not considered sufficiently 'notable'. I admitted that the band itself was not particularly notable in terms of its achievements but still felt that the subject matter - the very fact of the existence of an earlier band of that name - was worthy of inclusion. However, I was overruled and that's that!

Recently I have submitted another profile - that of the singer Neil Landon - who has been a member of several notable bands. I have referenced his chart success to the respected Guinness book of British Hit singles and have inserted several relevant links to other established wiki articles but once again have noted critical comments re the profile despite the fact that numerous other entries seem to me to be less worthy of inclusion. I am not annoyed, just puzzled and a little frustrated! It's clear I need help if I'm not to give up (p.s. I promise I'm not stupid - really).

Thanks in anticipation

Although you did the collage, you need to provide the source for each of the pictures therein. As the images appear to be professional headshots, you may wish to go through the WP:OTRS system to verify the (c) status. Skier Dude (talk) 22:17, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

You'd be best to deal with the WP:OTRS people given the nature of the image(s). Skier Dude (talk) 06:40, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
