Todd Youth

Thank you for your message on my talk page. By adding a category to an article, such as "horror punk musicians", somewhere in the article it needs to say that this person is or was a horror punk musician. With Todd Youth, his article states that he played with Samhain (band) and Son of Sam, but not that these two bands were horror punk bands. It may seem a natural conclusion, but the variability of it is based on the accuracy of those two other articles. Wikipedia describes this as circular sourcing, and it is highly discouraged. Would you be able to find a reliable source to add to the Todd Youth article which states that he played for a horror punk band? I know it is a bit more work, but it's good practice and makes Wikipedia a much more reliable source for information. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 11:10, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

I understand, I added reliable sources to confirm my statement. Regards, Merodack (talk) 17:21, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Oktober Guitars

The article Oktober Guitars has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:GNG. "Oktober Guitars" returns a few results in guitar-related publications but it's all just press releases announcing new guitars. I can find no significant coverage of the company. Seems non-notable.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
