Dakota left this explanation in the deletion log [1]. It refers you to WP:CSD item A7 for bands. You need to explain how your group is notable. Blnguyen | rant-line 02:10, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again. I've moved your article to User:Altered Beats/Cultura Londres so you can work on it. WP:MUSIC gives you guidelines on what is expected as a requirement for groups, so use that as a guide to provide evidence of your noteworthiness.Blnguyen | rant-line 02:19, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the point of an encyclopedia is to give info to all people, with the idea that a person with zero prior knowledge can get something out of it, so an assertion of notability is required like "sold 50,000 copies" or "came 2nd in international competition", "charted at #10" etc.Blnguyen | rant-line 02:23, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Blnguyen has explained it very well. It was tagged as and deleted as A7 which means it did not assert notability for bands. WP:MUSIC, WP:BAND. I see that it has been moved to your user space. The links will help you find the guidelines to do work on it to try to assert notability. Thanks.--Dakota 04:02, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Helpme request[edit]

Hey, there, I saw you left a {{helpme}} on Blnguyen's talk page. I'm sorry that your first experiences with Wikipedia have been less than pleasant. All I ask in turn is that you understand -- we're literally flooded with new articles, several hundred per day, and at some point the system breaks. Obviously, we can't afford to have an article on each of the 6+ billion people on Earth, so somewhere along the line, there has to be a cutoff point; in some cases, notability is used to determine that point. You can see what Wikipedia is not, and the deletion policy for some more information in that regard. Unfortunately, I can't see the article in question, and because of that I can't really offer you any specific advice. If you'd like to get some more opinions, you're free to make a post at deletion review, but bear in mind that there are no guarantees. In the meantime, please don't take the actions of these other editors too personally -- we're all here to build the best encyclopedia we can, in spite of our differences, and that common ground is what lets us all get along. Please don't take the deletion of the article as a commentary on your writing, on your band, or on your choices -- I'm sure you enjoy what you do, and I hope that you do. Hope that helps things make a bit more sense; if there's anything else you'd like to say or ask, you're welcome to post to my talk page or place another helpme. Thanks for your time.
