Deletion of Des_ark page

I wish to challenge the deletion of a page that you deleted.

• The page title is Des_ark.
• I have read the reason for deleting the page and I feel it was incorrect because Des Ark are a notable band. They began as a rock band, but all the members, bar Aimee Argote, left. Argote continued making music with just an acoustic guitar. She is an accomplished musician, employing harmonics and unusual time signatures. She also writes unusually frank lyrics.
• The following sources back up my claim:
  1. The deleted Wikipedia article lists Des ark's albums. These serve as sources to judge their musical development.
  2. The transition from a rock band to a solo music project is detailed here: http://modernfix.com/?page_id=1714
  3. Harmonics and unusual time signature: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmYdix-XGmg
  4. Unusually frank lyrics: http://www.lyricsmania.com/lyrics/des_ark_lyrics_22289/other_lyrics_52916/the_subtleties_of_chores_and_unlocked_doors_lyrics_736973.html

Please consider restoring this article. Maryrosecook (talk) 00:02, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Those sources are not reliable sources. Do you have any reliable sources? (e.g. newspaper articles) Stifle (talk) 09:35, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

A excerpt of an article from The Independent Weekly that describes one of Des Ark's latest records as "a masterpiece of modern folk": http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P3-1502924321.html Maryrosecook (talk) 12:23, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
