Please don't nuke me! edit

Along with the recent assertions of non-non-notability made by PJM, let me add one more: Polkacide was featured on a segment of NPR's All Things Considered (link here).

To be honest, it does piss me off a bit, because those who absolutely leapt to move to delete this article could have done the same research (I provided the link to the band's website, which contains this link). I believe this overzealous requesting deletion is actually against the general sense of Wikipedia's rules, if not the letter. It was literally within less than 5 minutes after I created this article that the rfd "tag" appeared on it. No mention on any talk pages. I mean, whoa: back off, call off your dogs, OK? --ILike2BeAnonymous 16:42, 25 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

FYI, you probably should have included the NPR link to begin with. The tagging for deletion is really no big deal because you get five days worth of discussion and enough eyes will look at it that people can fix it (as is what seems to have happened). Note also however that as you originally wrote it, the article fell under the scope of the rules as specified in Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion, specifically item 7 under "Articles." There was no assertion of importance/significance and you provided no references. Considering WP gets hundreds of new articles per day (a lot of which is junk) you can't blame the people who patrol these pages for thinking this article doesn't deserve to stay, especially when you compare it to the stuff that does get deleted. I don't mean to shift the blame on you; after all, you're relatively new and can't be expected to know all the ins and outs of WP. I suggest you try doing some new page patrol for a little while just to see it from their perspective. Regards, howcheng {chat} 17:43, 25 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Reads much like an advertisement. Tried changing it to be less ad-y, and hope it stays that way. Quantupediholic (talk) 12:48, 29 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
