Hi, You ask why I deleted the article on Eyeshine. It is wikipedia policy to qickly delete articles on subjects, including bands, that do not assert notability, that is they do not give the reason that band is important enough for inclusion. This band is an unsigned local band that has yet to release a full length album. There are literally tens of thousands such bands out there. If you strongly disagree with this deletion, you may request a deletion recview. Dsmdgold 14:10, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

I understand that Johnny Yong Bosch is notable. However his notability is not derived from his work as a musician, but from his work in another field. In that case his notability is not inherited by this article. You mentioned on my talk page that this band has played shows all over the country. The article did not mention that at the time that I deleted that. (If it had I probably would not have deleted it.) Given that and the border line notability that having Mr. Bosch in the band confers, I will restore the article. However I am also going to nominate it for deletion at Articles for deletion. Once there it will be debated by the larger community for five days, at which time another admin will act on the consensus developed in the debate. During that time you may make any improvements to the article that you think will help your case. I suggest you read the policies and guidelines on Notability, especially as it applies to musicians, and verifiability. I might note that even though I am sending this article to AfD, another admin may choose to speedy delete it again. Dsmdgold 02:36, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
