Talk:Blu Mar Ten

Hello. I haven't edited Wikipedia in a long time, but I thought I would ask why you have nominated the article Blu mar ten for speedy deletion. I am not the page author, and agree it needs some work, but the artist is not non-notable - they were one of the major artists on Good Looking Records, another article which also needs work. The problem may be that there has been a problem for many people editing articles based on Drum and bass, and so they are all relatively weak. However, I feel that Wikipedia affords articles to many artists from smaller or niche genres, and that Blu mar ten deserve one by virtue of their past importance to a specific music scene and their continued activity as DJs and producers within the scene.

I don't keep an active user page any more, but will continue to watch this talk page and the article in question.I have copied this comment onto the talk page there. I would rather not go through the whole votes for deletion process, or even speedy deletion, as it seems a bit redundant when a search for the artist name on amazon.com will bring up a whole list of releases on various record labels. Thanks for your time, hope my tone is polite, I am a bit rusty on wikipedia protocol.

::whilst Im at it, if the tone and style is the only problem, I will happily fix them myself to save the article from deletion. It does read a bit like a myspace bio, but I can fix that over the weekend in a few minutes. I don't want to spend an hour cleaning it up only to have it deleted. thanks98.26.113.150 (talk) 05:26, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

... because artist is definitely notable, with around 15 years of commercial releases across a few genres. We just need to get the article in shape to show this. There are plenty references to be found.

The copy/move to the new URL (to which the old now redirects) I believe generated a speedy deletion tag. As discussed above (from the previous talk page), this artist is clearly notable enough for inclusion – the old page was not contested further. I believe this is reason enough to disregard this 'new' speedy deletion.
