Talk:The Ducky Boys

message: I don't understand how this is a blatant advertisement, or how their is questions regarding the notability. I have looked at many different bands wikipedia pages and they are all similar to this one. I'll cite, but please do not delete this just because you've never heard of them. Clearly, a good majority of the punk community has though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AxYoung (talk • contribs) 06:09, 29 November 2006
Update: I think you've done a good job meeting any objections. The article no longer has a "promotional" or "press release-y" sound to it, and you've supplied references. Please don't take the initial tagging personally; it's just part of what is called "Newpages Patrol" around here. Many people try to use Wikipedia to promote bands few have ever heard of—often bands they are themselves playing in or serving as PR agent for. If you check the history you'll see that I had already removed the non-notability tag based on a Google search for "Ducky Boys"+"punk" returning over 63,000 hits. That seems notable enough for me. 
Just one more thing: it's customary to sign your comments with a dash followed by four tilde signs like so ~~~~ (which get converted into your user name and a timestamp). --IslandGyrl 16:32, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
