Speedy deletion nomination of Soapbox (band)

Latest comment: 13 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Soapbox (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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Singularity42 (talk) 21:05, 4 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi,

I've created a page for Soapbox, a portuguese band, and it was deleted.

I understand that you want to protect wikipedia from garage band without notability, but this particular band is getting big in portugal - they already went to tv channels (for their videoclip) and to the radio. Now, they released their first EP, but without the support of a record company.

I hope you could allow me to publish this page on wikipedia, because it's a great place to find information about them (biography, discography, videos, etc).

Here you have some links to support my argumentation:
