A tag has been placed on Aftermath (band) 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 band or musician, but it does not 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Non-dropframe (talk) 22:23, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd prefer stuff done on-wiki, but oh well, let's just go at it...

The prevailing guideline for Wikipedia is WP:MUSIC. Some of the listed criteria is multiple non-trivial press coverage, chart a hit on a national music chart, have an album that is certified gold, release two albums on a major label, etc. – see the full list of criteria. If Aftermath Chicago meets one of the criteria, your article will stand. Find reliable sources (web links, publications, etc.) to verify the information that meets one of the MUSIC criteria. Then it won't be deleted. hbdragon88 (talk) 07:17, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
