Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brain Trauma
edit conflict) There are rule for wikipedia.  This band does not pass , which outlines if a band or artist's article should be kept or removed.  As a person in the military I know you understand what it means to have rules to be followed.  If you need a certain security clearance to get into a certain area of a military base, then you don't get to go there if you do not have the clearance.  Wikipedia is the same.  We have a 'standard' and this band does not meet it...yet.  Doesn't mean they will not in the future.  About the Metallica and Grateful Dead reference...|Wikipeida is not a crystal ball and will not keep an article based on 'maybe they will be famous in the future'.  Even the most notable Rock singer ever, Elvis Presley, started off singing at state fairs and was not notable until his record deal. Had we had wikipedia back then and someone made an article on him before he would meet the  guidelines, the article would be deleted. Same with metallica and the Greatful Dead.  Notability must be verifiable NOW, not based on some possible future. As for success, I guess that is up to how you define it. Notability?  Well if they do not meet  then I guess they do not meet wikipedia's standards for notability.  Would you be upset with the Billboard Hot 100 if they didn't place the band in their system?  No?  Why?  Because they do not meet Billboard's standards...yet.  Again, this is not an attack on the band, the fans, nor their music.  This is a discussion on if the band meets Wikipedias standards... They don't... yet.  When they do, feel free to provide sources for this, cite the hell out of it, and recreate the article
