:: When you find a news article as you are researching a nomination for deletion, it's important to mention it in the discussion for at least a couple of reasons. One is that it can be helpful to your fellow editors in their own searches for sources as they try to determine a subject's notability. Another is for reasons of process if someone were to re-post the article: If an editor re-posts it as it was, and simply adds a citation to the news article, it is no longer eligible for [[WP:G4|CSD G4]] speedy deletion. If, on the other hand, you had mentioned the article in the deletion discussion, and the consensus still came to the conclusion of "yes, this is a non-notable band, even taking into account that one source", then a re-posting could be speedily deleted under G4. Just thought I'd offer that perspective, for what it's worth.

Altered speedy deletion rationale: SAPSN
Hello BaronVonYiffington. I am just letting you know that I deleted SAPSN, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, under a different criterion from the one you provided, which doesn't fit the page in question. Thank you. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 14:14, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Hello BaronVonY. I'm not sure it's worth re-opening this already-closed AfD, but I came across it, and noticed that this news article (linked in the AfD template via Google News) does verify some of the information you seemed doubtful about. Respectfully, Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 03:59, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
- I found that news article as well, but it only confirms that they opened for Twisted Sister and played twice at Rocklahoma. I'm not sure I fully believe the article, simply because I still stand by my point that a band that opened for such famous acts and played a record-breaking two days at the festival would have actually been recognized by the festival it self, and they aren't. ~ Baron Von Yiffington . talk . contribs 11:58, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
