Anderspanders

Hello Anderspanders, thanks for writing. I deleted "The CareBears (demo group)" because it does not meet Wikipedia's notability criteria. Take a look at that criteria, and if you still thing they're notable, feel free to recreate the article with the assertion of notability clearly stated. Let me know if you have further questions. --Fang Aili ^talk 13:54, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi Anderspanders,

I deleted the article in question because, in my judgment, it fell under CSD A7, a criterion that requires encyclopedic notability to be asserted in any article about a person or groups of people. (For the criteria of speedy deletion, see WP:CSD. Having reread the article, I stand by my judgment. The article content you wrote was:

" The The CareBears (a.k.a. TCB) were a Swedish based demo crew formed by Nic (Niclas Thisell) and Jas (Andreas Suurkuusk). The first known work from this group was for the PC scene.

The CareBears later moved onto the ATARI ST computer where several demos and intros where released between 1988-1992.

The first release was named ‘The Junk demo’ that even though it’s simplicity was considered a real work of art at the time beeing.

An Cool (Anders Nilsson) joined The CareBears (AKA TCB) right before the release of the Swedish New year demo (1988-1989).

TCB started the work of putting together a megademo called The cuddly demos during this period they notised that the skills of the members where pure programming. So during the process of making the Cuddly Demos, Tanis (Niclas Malmqvist) was joining the team in order to create graphics.

Most of the information about TCB on the net is relating to the demos produced by the group, but TCB where also very successful in removing copy protection from games. TCB had their own debugger later released as source code. This debugger could even run most of the software on the ATARI ST in slow-motion.

TCB later dissolved when the ATARI ST ‘died’ and the responsibilities of being a grownup prevented hours after hours trying to optimise assembly code

In the article's text, there is no assertion of encyclopedia notability (for which, see Wikipedia:Notability). Wikipedia is an encyclopedia; it is not a compendium of everything that has ever existed. For a person or group of people to merit an article in Wikipedia, there must be some basic evidence that other people (beyond those directly involved and their families and friends) would find the article useful/informative/valuable. In this case, as written, there is no evidence of this in your article.

You may: 1) rewrite the article, and include a mention of why this group is notable; or 2) take the matter to Deletion Review, where the editing community at large will decide whether the deletion of your article was within guidelines. I would advise you to pursue the first avenue before considering the second, but the choice is yours. Best wishes, Xoloz 20:41, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
