Speedy deletion nomination of Fix Dot'M

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

A tag has been placed on Fix Dot'M requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{ hangon}} at the top of the article, immediately below the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate), and providing your reasons for contesting on the article's talk page, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

You may want to read the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. — C.Fred ( talk) 20:57, 15 August 2010 (UTC) reply

  • One of the major flaws in the article is that no reliable sources are cited. If Fix Dot'M has been written about in major newspapers or magazines, then that can demonstrate that he is notable. However, blogs and forum posts are not reliable, so the article currently does not cite reliable sources. I don't see anything in the article that shows that he meets WP:BAND: he doesn't have two albums out, hasn't won any significant awards, etc. Unless you can show you he meets those criteria or that he has gotten significant coverage in multiple reliable sources, the article is subject to deletion. Also, remember that the notability criteria are applied to the Fix Dot'M article; the article is not compared to other similar subjects to see whether other articles exist on them. — C.Fred ( talk) 21:46, 15 August 2010 (UTC) reply

The article Fix Dot'M has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Seems to fail WP:MUSIC, both references are forum threads.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

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

BTW, I did not propose the deletion. Another editor did, but I wanted to make sure you got the notification. — C.Fred ( talk) 21:51, 15 August 2010 (UTC) reply
