Speedy deletion of Otto & George[edit]

A tag has been placed on Otto & George, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.

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 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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Booglamay (talk) - 19:16, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notability of Otto & George[edit]

A tag has been placed on Otto & George 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. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 15:15, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not deleted[edit]

The duo appear to be notable, if any of the facts are correct. Do you have any sources, or do Otto/George have a website wehre I can at least verify the info? Keeper ǀ 76 15:30, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

yes: http://www.ottoandgeorge.com/ & a link on http://www.opieandanthony.com/ Futon95529 (talk) 16:06, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! By the way, you are doing nice work over there. I hope you don't mind me coming in behind you and fixing up a few things and standardizing the text to look like the rest of Wikipedia (we're all about uniformity here, being a boring encyclopedia after all :-). Do you have any links to any newspaper stories or reviews of O & G and their act? I'm having trouble finding things that are independent reviews, any help you can offer is appreciated. The article is starting to shape up nicely! Keeper ǀ 76 16:59, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent! We need to work those into the article (if you haven't already. I'll copy and paste them to the talkpage of the article so we have them in the same place as the article. Keeper ǀ 76 18:59, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

September 2008[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Otto & George has been reverted. Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): rule: '\bmyspace\.com' (link(s): http://www.myspace.com/OTTOANDGEORGE) . If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).

If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks!
