Speedy deletion nomination of The stonesouls

A tag has been placed on The stonesouls 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Sources

Wikipedia only covers topics that have already gotten significant coverage in other sources. Unless reliable third-party sources have written about this band, there's no hope the article can be kept. You writing about your own band is not a reliable third-party source. Friday (talk) 21:25, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

• • That isn't enough. You might want to read WP:PERMISSIONS. Also, as has already been said, since you are a member of this band, creating this article violates Wikipedia's rules about autobiographies and having a conflict of interest. THE AMERICAN METROSEXUAL 21:58, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
