A tag has been placed on
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 07:03, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Nomination of HeyMike! for deletion
A discussion has begun about whether the article HeyMike!, which you created or to which you contributed, should be deleted. While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/HeyMike! until a consensus is reached, and you are welcome to contribute to the discussion.
You may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 17:39, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for your apology (accepted, thank you). I'm sorry if you took offense at the "bar band" remark, but from the original version of the article, that's what it looked like. Now with more sources, It's fairly clear they are a bit more than that. Whether they are notable enough for their own article will be determined by the deletion discussion.
- Here's the deal: Wikipedia gets a huge number of articles about bands, and the vast majority of those bands are nowhere near notable enough. Many are garage bands literally formed two weeks before the article is posted. I weed through dozens, perhaps hundreds of these on a regular basis, and I take a very skeptical view of articles about bands and musical ensembles. Someone has to come up with some pretty good sources that prove what others say about a band, and Amazon listings and YouTube links don't count. We're a bit like that crusty college professor that you turned in a paper to with some interesting fact but with no references, and he says, "Who else says this? I can't go just on your say-so. Give me sources." Having said that, you're making progress with this article. The VH1 reference helps greatly, the others a little less so but still helpful. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 08:03, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
