Notability of Operation Midnight Climax (band)

A tag has been placed on Operation Midnight Climax (band) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Ecoleetage (talk) 02:14, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

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.

A few suggestions for your project

Hey, I understand that the article you created was in good faith, so I figured I'd help where I can. I'm sure there are plenty of Canadian bands that are notable that don't have wikipedia pages. I did a google search for "Canadian bands" and "up-and-coming Canadian bands) and found plenty of results. I also found this page with a decent list of groups, although I didn't have time to check and see if they had pages or not. Again, good luck, and drop me a line on my talk page if you have any more questions. Cheers! Rwiggum (^Talk/_Contrib) 04:25, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

I was wondering why so many Edmonton bands were being created this evening. Please have whoever gave you this assignment read through Wikipedia:Notability (music) as to what is required for an article to remain. Also please have them read Wikipedia:School and university projects which should help. They can contact me on my talk page if they want.

A note about your project

Just to let you know, your teacher is welcome to make an account on wikipedia and come ask for help in pointing you guys toward projects where you can help improve Canadian articles. She doesn't need to give her name or anything, just make an account and come to the Wikipedia:Help desk or see the Wikipedia:FAQ/Schools. There are people who would be willing to help if asked and it would probably mean you folks could end up doing article work that doesn't get deleted. Either way, good luck with your project.
