Speedy deletion nomination of Thom Tucker

A tag has been placed on Thom Tucker requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Mr. Tucker: I have amended the hangon tag that you applied to the above-noted article to make sure it is seen by other administrators. My advice is (a) that you work quickly to add material that demonstrates a policy-based reason to retain this article and (b) that you attempt to demonstrate with reference to reliable sources the ways in which you meet the requirements of the Wikipedia policy found at WP:MUSICBIO, which is the standard against which this article will be measured. I'd also recommend that you look at Wikipedia's conflict of interest policy. If you have any questions not answered by links in this paragraph, or by WP:Your first article and WP:Why was my article deleted?, feel free to leave me a note by clicking on the word "talk" after my signature.
