Hi, I'm the author of said deleted page/s, and I was just hoping to get some clarification on what level of notoriety is required to be sufficient for Wikipedia's notability standards.
These individual articles were part of a larger project I had begun documenting a very small and very interesting music scene that was/is vibrant and active in Hobart, Tasmania between the years of 1994-now. Admittedly, this is a very small scene, in a smallish city, in a small state in a small country. The scene existed in a state of isolation due to the being made on an island. This is part of what made/makes the music from these people so interesting. However, it is also what made/makes it hard for them to reach any level of wider fame. I was making the individual pages to try and open the ability to make band pages from this, as one of the hallmarks of the Tasmanian scene is a lot of multi-instrumentalists playing in numerous projects at the same time.
Things that aren't famous aren't necessarily unimportant... and perhaps Wikipedia is one of the only places where small scenes like the Hobart scene could actually get some kind of recognition? Either way, I'm not terribly upset or anything, but I would like to know why Ten Pound Hammer et al have decided that these articles are not worth having onboard. Do you have to be Teagan and Sara to get your own listing? How about Gallhammer? Where's the line? -- E. Swann ( talk) 00:22, 14 June 2009 (UTC) reply
