Swizzle Tree[edit]

Was tagged with {{db-band}}. I deleted, and I recieved a message to my talk page saying that the person who proposed tagged with an intent of saying it failed notability requirements (not a speedy reason). I double checked by looking at the edit summary of the tagger (19:28, December 4, 2006 Walter Görlitz (Talk | contribs | block) (Appears to meet the requirement of non-notable. No national tours. No releases on major lables. Also removed gratuitous band names). For this reason I am going to seek second opinions on whether we should keep this or not.

Speedy Delete Article does not assert the importance or significance of its subject. CSD A7. It would be impossible to assert a subject's importance if it's not notable. This is a speedy reason. --Walter Görlitz 12:54, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails WP:MUSIC (no awards, only one album, no reviews) so delete. Jayden54 22:18, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment -- the {{db-band}} template states "it is an article about a band, singer, musician, or musical ensemble that does not assert the importance or significance of the subject." Thus, by linking to Wikipedia:Notability (music), it is automatically calling into question the notability of the subject and whether or not the article asserts it. The edit summary is immaterial to whether or not the article meets criteria for speedy deletion. The template indicates that the article failed to assert notability. Because the article did indeed fail to assert notability, it meets the criteria for speedy deletion CSD A7. The initial speedy delete was proper. SWAdair 09:56, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete - it was the proper call then, and it's the proper call now. This should have been handled at Wikipedia:Deletion review instead. The worst that could have happened is for them to bounce it here. B.Wind 02:01, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
