Speedy deletion nomination of The Von Finleys

A tag has been placed on The Von Finleys 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. sixtynine ^{• spill it •} 19:51, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove the speedy deletion template from the article until the issue has been resolved. If you wish to contest the deletion proposal, use the {{hangon}} tag instead. Thank you. sixtynine ^{• spill it •} 19:55, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

((hangon))

this page is about a band that have not yet received any commercial notability, as yet, and is therefor hard to link existing texts and internet pages. I feel however that it is important to include pages on up and comming artists, as they too are important, and should be available for anyone wishing to find out more about them. thankyou

Copy {{hangon}} with the brackets and paste it below the deletion template atop the article page. sixtynine ^{• spill it •} 20:22, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and I am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy for the following reason: Username identical to name of band whose article you added, potentially promotional in nature. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?

I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

You have several options freely available to you:

If you can relieve my concern through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
If the two of us can't agree here, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's dispute resolution process, such as requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Wikipedia administrators usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
You can keep your contributions history under a new username. Visit Wikipedia:Changing username and follow the guidelines there.

Thank you. Vicenarian ^{(T · C)} 20:43, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
