Speedy deletion nomination of Robin Holcomb

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

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

A tag has been placed on Robin Holcomb requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Misplaced Pages:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Misplaced Pages'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. Morning Sunshine (talk) 02:41, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Robin Holcomb

Thanks for message. It's not just the references

• The article is fan-talk, not an encyclopaedia article. We don't know her nationality (although the context suggests US), age, education or training. The first two paras are just fan-babble (I didn't check whether they were copied from a website, although copyrighted text is not allowed in Misplaced Pages, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by her or her organisation, unless they state clearly that the text is public domain).
• There is not even a claim of notability, no indication of how she meets the notability guidelines for music. She's made some recordings, none of which are linked to Misplaced Pages articles. For all we are told, they may have sold 10 copies each, no awards, nothing.
• If you can give a reason for her notability, you need independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts. . The NYT is a reliable source, but the article you gave is just a review, it doesn't give any biographical info or explain why she is notable.

She may well be notable, but the deleted article gave no indication of why Jimfbleak - talk to me? 16:04, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

I don't know what you consider notable. The first thing I see at that link you gave is that notability is not enough to "speedily delete" something. She's notable enough for the German Misplaced Pages: http://de.wikipedia.org/Robin_Holcomb It's kind of insulting to be told I wrote "fan babble."

It also says: "Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself. "Has released two or more albums on a major label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are notable). I documented both of those in References and Discography.

question

Can I re-create the article?

I understand your passion for the artist. Try citing inline references to substantiate notability. Before you re-submit, feel free to send a message to one of us to review the article. Cheers. Txcrossbow (talk) 07:54, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Moving the location of the citation doesn't increase documentation of notability. It just changes where it is. The artist meets the notability requirements, and that is documented in the article. Failing it because of notability is wrong. Period. I don't actually know how to do "inline citations". Minorview (talk) 22:46, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

I just read your latest comment on my talk page, particularly directing me to "STOP BLACKING THE ARTICLE". Heads up, I only declined it once. You did not RE-SUBMIT, which is why my decline is at the top of your page. Secondly, being confrontational with reviewers will not change the status of your article. I was respectful and tried to be helpful when I addressed you; please reciprocate. If you don't know how to do in-line references, you could have simply asked. The declination was not a personal attack on you. Txcrossbow (talk) 06:08, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

A little honesty goes a long way. I did not "direct" you to "STOP BLOCKING THE ARTICLE." What I actually wrote was "Would you please stop blocking the article?" Your denial of the article is wrong. The crieria for notability are straightforward, and the subject meets them. You made a mistake, and I am asking you to fix your mistake. Minorview (talk) 18:50, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Removal of sourced content, March 2013

In this edit you removed sourced content with WP:RS sources. You have provided no sources of your own to justify said deletion. I suggest you self-revert to avoid a revert cycle, given that the material is fully sourced and pertains to the subject of the article. If you cannot provide WP:RS sources that justify your statement about weight, your edit will have to be reverted, and should you revert again, that will be WP:Disruptive editing given that you are performing deletion of sourced content with no sources to justify your own actions.
