It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

The article HaShiSh (Punk-Rock Band) has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki 14:18, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The page was deleted because it does not appear that this band meets our notability standards for bands, see WP:MUSIC. NawlinWiki 14:26, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure how this is "jargon", but here is the relevant section from WP:MUSIC:

A musician or ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, DJ, musical theatre group, etc.) is notable if it meets any one of the following criteria:

It has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable.^[1]
- This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, magazine articles, and television documentaries^[2] except for the following:
  - Media reprints of press releases, other publications where the musician/ensemble talks about themselves, and advertising for the musician/ensemble.
  - Works comprising merely trivial coverage, such as newspaper articles that simply report performance dates or the publications of contact and booking details in directories.
  - An article in a school or university newspaper (or similar) would generally be considered trivial but should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Has had a charted hit on any national music chart.
Has had a record certified gold or higher in at least one country.
Has gone on an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country, reported in reliable sources.^[3]
Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable).
Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable; note that it is often most appropriate to use redirects in place of articles on side projects, early bands and such.
Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability.
Has won or been nominated for a major music award, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury or Grammis award.
Has won or placed in a major music competition.
Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g. a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a compilation album, etc. (But if this is the only claim, it is probably more appropriate to have a mention in the main article and redirect to that page.)
Has been placed in rotation nationally by any major radio network.
Has been the subject of a half hour or longer broadcast across a national radio or TV network.

Specifically, with regard to no. 1 and no. 4, you have to be able to show independent news coverage of your band. If you can do that, let me know. NawlinWiki 14:34, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the note. The first link you gave me doesn't work. The second is OK, although it doesn't really say much other than that they are touring the US. But the guidelines above require "multiple non-trivial published works." The third link just shows that they played the Roxy once, which isn't a criterion on the above list. Keep trying... thanks, NawlinWiki 19:21, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- The first link still doesn't work, and the sources you are suggesting (posters, etc) still don't show that the tour was covered by reliable independent sources. NawlinWiki 16:07, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

^ Self-promotion and product placement are not the routes to having an encyclopaedia article. The published works must be someone else writing about the musician, ensemble, composer, or lyricist. (See Wikipedia:Attribution#Self-published sources for details about the reliability of self-published sources, and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest for treatment of promotional, vanity material.) The barometer of notability is whether people independent of the subject itself have actually considered the musician, ensemble, composer, or lyricist notable enough that they have written and published non-trivial works that focus upon it. The rationale for this is easy to see -- someone simply talking about themselves in their own personal blog, website, book publisher, etc. does not automatically mean they have sufficient attention in the world at large to be called notable. If that was so then everyone could have an article. Wikipedia is not a directory.
^ What constitutes a "published work" is deliberately broad.
^ The application of this criterion is disputed; see discussion on talk page.
