Northwest Paranormal Research Team (NPRT) Page deleted?

Hi i have jsut dun a page to do with the paranormal and the evidence my team has gathered. But it was deleted. Why has it been taken off, and if it is because you dont think it is important enough... WHy does The Atlantic Paranormal Society (TAPS) not been deleted also!

My team is non-profitable at present, but these guys are seling things on thier site and gettin sponsorships and TV payments... Surely just for discussion I could keep the page online??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jp2uk (talk • contribs) 17:07, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

(Jp2uk (talk) 17:08, 23 May 2009 (UTC))

So the reason for the deletion is purelt because we are not known on TV etc??? Surely just for topical conversation we can have a page about our findings and investigations. Is there no way we can place a page on about our team and findings?

Yehonathan Gatro

Hi,

Thanks for the speedy-deletion notice regarding Yehonathan Gatro. To be honest, I'm not sure what exactly makes a given singer notable, but he has an article on the Hebrew Wikipedia (he:יהונתן גטרו), and from a quick Google, I determined that his music videos have appeared recently on MTV, and that he was the subject of a recent cover story on Instinct, a magazine that (according to our article) has a readership of about 300,000. If that makes him notable, please restore the article; if not, no worries. (I don't know very much about him; I came across this online news article about him yesterday, and everything else I know about him is from a few minutes of Googling.)

Thanks!

P.S. I notice that there are two deletion-log entries, one for non-notability, one for copyright infringement. For the record, what I wrote was not copyright infringement; it was a translation of the start of he:יהונתן גטרו. (Sorry, not being an admin, I can't see whether it's my version that was accused of copyvio, or someone else's.) —Ruakh_TALK 13:56, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

O.K., sorry for the string of messages. This is hopefully the last one. I've looked at the notability criteria for musicians, and it looks like he does meet them, on the basis of (1) news coverage (see above), and arguably on the basis of (11) heavy rotation on Israel's main music-video channel (assuming his Hebrew Wikipedia article is correct about that — it doesn't list any references). —Ruakh_TALK 14:42, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Ah, sorry, I didn't realize that you weren't an admin, either. Thanks again! —Ruakh_TALK 15:08, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
