Spjall:Baggalútur (hljómsveit)

message: I had created a brief article about the Icelandic band Baggalútur on English Wikipedia in January 2014 which had more or less stayed the same, until today September 5, 2018. Then suddenly an editor colleague saw the page, nominated it for "speedy delete" claiming there was copyright infringement and that he saw a so-called "extremely promotional material" there and in a matter of 10 minutes from first request, it was deleted without even giving me a chance to review the material. The so-called copyright infringement turned out to be that the specific page he was citing had taken our text word for word, rather than what was claimed that we were taking their text and thus infringing on copyright and that we were the plagiarizer. So them copying our text on their Google Play site was grounds for deletion of our article in the colleague's logic. 
In any case knowing that Baggalútur is a notable Icelandic band, I consider losing the English page on them a loss to our English readers. I have  vowed not to come to this English page again for a forseeable future, but I put here the material that we had just before the deletion of the said page. I firmly believe in having more non-English materials and I believe Baggalútur fits the bill. Hopefully reproducing our deleted article here might be a help for those who might have some inclination to edit and reestablish the page some time in the future with more references included and toning down, if possible, some of the details so that it not ground for further scrutiny and deletion requests. Here is the deleted text:  
ARTICLE
"Baggalútur is an Icelandic musical band. The band has achieved great popularity in Iceland releasing a number of highly charting albums. The band interprets original songs as well as popular Icelandic songs and Icelandic renditions of international hits from various genres. 
Traditionally Baggalútur perform on annual Christmas celebrations with a large following.[1] Their album Mamma þarf að djamma was their biggest success with the album topping the Icelandic charts throughout November and December of 2013;[2] including the Christmas chart. The title track "Mamma þarf að djamma" in collaboration with and featuring the vocals of Jóhanna Guðrún had an even bigger success in the Icelandic Singles Charts, staying at top of Tónlist singles chart for 13 consecutive weeks making it the biggest selling Icelandic language single for 2013. 
The name is connected with the digital online Icelandic magazine Baggalútur operational since May 11th, 2001. The site has critical content consisting of ironic or sarcastic articles and imaginary interviews."
END OF TEXT OF DELETED ARTICLE
I included the names of the members (Bragi Valdimar Skúlason, Guðmundur Kristinn Jónsson, Guðmundur Pálsson, Karl Sigurðsson, Garðar Þorsteinn Guðgeirsson, Haraldur Hallgrímsson, Jóhann Bragi Fjalldal). At the end, I had added the discography of albums (11 at the time) and the singles which you can find in the Icelandic version anyways. I sincerely hope this offer to relaunch a page with better references could be taken by an Icelandic or other interested editor, now or in the future.
