A tag has been placed on Coolboys and the Frontman requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Thanks for message. Please note that although it was tagged for deletion as non-notable, it was actually deleted by me as advertising, althouigh there is no evidence that they are notable either.
I note that much of the editing has been done by accounts that have few edits elsewhere, and that the article had numerous tags for problems with referencing, COI and notability prior to its deletion.
If you have a conflict of interest regarding this article, you must declare it. Also read the following regarding writing an article:
Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 10:40, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
It was not self promotion or advertising. It was notable as they are notable Australian comedians, that also had the band with other notable musicians. The page was linked from their own page. Just because you personally don't know of them, doesn't mean they aren't notable in their own right. They have been arguably the most popular comedic group in Australia for well over a decade.
I believe that your deletion was heavy handed and incorrect as you assumed it was self promotion, when it very much wasn't.
With the referencing, that could have been cleaned up if given the opportunity.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Western Bulldogs, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Robert Murphy and Jim Gallagher. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hi. Please review our policy on including the names of people charged with, but who have not been found guilty of, a crime. Thanks. — MaxnaCarta ( 💬 • 📝 ) 01:57, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
The lead sentence should use extreme WP:SUMMARY style and therefore not give an exhaustive list of nicknames. For instance association football is known by many different names, including "footy", but these are not mentioned. Only two alternative names are given. - HappyWaldo ( talk) 19:51, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
You must be new here, the pagekeepers of the AFL article will not accept that half the population calls AFL, AFL.
Re scoring, not only are you adding unnecessary historical details, but the formatting and capitalisation is off (ie bolding the final score example). It's not a good look. "Traditionally the AFL Grand Final would be replayed if drawn, while Finals matches only began to utilise extra time in 1991. Although extra time for the Grand Final was implemented in 2015." None of this is relevant here. The section isn't titled "Evolution of scoring", just "Scoring". It should be described as clearly and as succinctly as possible, rather than get bogged down in irrelevant historical details, like scoring during the pre-season comp between 2003-2017. - HappyWaldo ( talk) 10:38, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
A tip. For every edit you make, write an Edit summary. Edits made without Edit summaries immediately make other editors suspicious that something less than ideal may be going on. HiLo48 ( talk) 06:29, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
