Can you please explain what is wrong with the page I am creating? I am new to wiki and this is the first page I am attempting to create. I am still working on editting it so it fits with the wiki world but due to work it is taking me some time. I understand the need to weed out some posts but this is a legitamite page for a band that is a very big entity in the Detroit area. Rog48842 (talk) 02:00, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sure Rog. Basically, what you need to do is demonstrate that the topic of the article (e.g. the band B.F.E., in this case) is notable (See WP:NOTABLE -- and in particular WP:BAND). You're going to need to show that the group has received significant coverage in reliable sources (see WP:RS). If you can demonstrate that, the the article will generally be kept. Feel free to ask if you've got any other questions, or need help with anything. -- Jrtayloriv (talk) 02:12, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the feedback, like I said I have to do alot of work to this and am doing it. If you can give me like a day or so I can add the needed material. I understand outaide of detroit this band may not seem notable but in detroit it is a huge band with air play and sold out shows. Thanks for the feedback again, and i'm working on it.

The deletion discussion will go on for several days, so you should have plenty of time. The decision is not up to me by the way -- there will be a group decision made by any editors who choose to participate in the deletion discussion. Take care. -- Jrtayloriv (talk) 02:59, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

ok cool. thank you Rog48842 (talk) 12:26, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I see you restored the edit I made saying it was sourced. That particular paragraph is in itself non-neutral & inaccurate; it frames the "debate" in ways it is not. Many scholars made estimates, not just Stannard; scholars do have demographic studies to support them, and the other scholars did not just copy off Stannard's made up estimates out of nowhere, the way the paragraph leads people to believe. The sources for that narrow pov & those claims? Not in the citations present. Add in the comparison of Stannard's work to the "balck legend" is definite "undue weight" to a fringe argument. What is your justification for that edit? Ebanony (talk) 06:21, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
