The article Voodoo Allstars has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This happened because the article seems to be about a person or group of persons but it does not indicate how or why that person or group is notable. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. You might also want to read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles.

This article has been nominated for deletion because the article seems to be about a band which is not notable according to Wikipedia's notability policy. Feel free to defend it's notability at the associated Afd page. Thank you. Ardent†∈ 23:16, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Hello again. I'm sorry you feel that your contribution is being maliciously deleted. Wikipedia values all contributions that help lead to making our encyclopedia as complete as possible, however the topics included must be encyclopedic. This is why we have guidelines like Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:Verifiability, to help us not include things that do not belong in an encyclopedia. Unfortunately, the 'little guy' often doesn't meet these standards of inclusion. Feel free to talk to me further about this at my talk page if you need more information or if you disagree. And please note that you can sign your comments with a datestamp by typing four tildes after your comments like so ~~~~. Keep up the excellent editing! Ardent†∈ 23:52, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
The policy of wikipedia is to be as verifiable, notable and far-reaching as possible. Unfortunately, the article Pirates of war isn't verifiable, and by nature of not being verifiable, also isn't notable. Wikipedia is indeed about gathering as many facts as possible in a superb manner, but giving equal print to someone like George Duke and a band I put together to play at local clubs doesn't make sense. If you could look over What Wikipedia is not, perhaps you will understand more what I am talking about. Ardent†∈ 00:50, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Alan Evans (drummer) edit
A tag has been placed on Alan Evans (drummer) 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 person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
