Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Night Runners
Speaking as an admin here, there is no way for an admin to officially "approve" an article. I'm not sure where you got that idea but it's not how things work on Wikipedia. The criteria for ''speedy'' deletion are similarly irrelevant; the criteria for speedy deletion are necessarily much narrower than for deletion in general, because "speedy deletion" is "nuke on sight without discussion". If it had met the speedy criteria, we would not be discussing it here because the article would already be gone. The "articles for deletiojn" process, which is what we're engaged in right now, ''does'' take notability into consideration, specifically in this case the WP:general notability guideline|general notability guideline and the |notability criteria for bands and musicians. &mdash
