Ra Ra Riot

Ciao. The Wikipedia community decided that this should be deleted at the following discussion: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ra Ra Riot. If they have appeared in Rolling Stone, had European tours, etc. and there are sources for those, by all means create an article in your user space - I'll put what was deleted here to start you off. Have all the citations appear in the article. Note that a band must meet WP:BAND criteria and referenced by reliable sources to be kept. After you've got it ready - or translated - let me know and if it passes WP:BAND I'll take it to the Deletion Review to let it be moved to mainspace. Cheers.

This is kind of on the border line. They played 4 shows in London, which is not a national tour of the UK much less an European tour. Is there more? Carlossuarez46 (talk) 03:33, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

I have placed it at WP:DRV where you can see it and respond to comments, etc. Someone has asked for sourcing regarding the drummer's death. Looks like initial reaction is favorable. Ciao. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 03:14, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Re: Ra Ra Riot

Hi Daniel, excuse me if this isn't the proper way to contact you--I'm an inexperienced user, but I joined wikipedia to help translate English articles into Italian. One problem I've run into is entry of the band Ra Ra Riot. It currently exists in Italian, but was deleted in English, several times, even while the band continues to recieve coverage for its music and tours. I worked with the band recently--before the death of their drummer they were featured in Rolling Stone magazine, and are by all means notable; a quote from the Spin Magazine article I posted in a later version of the entry said "You must know Syracuse's Ra Ra Riot. Like, right now." They're a signed, working, musical group with one EP released commercially on the Rebel Group label, a full-length album due, two european tours and several North American tours completed. Again I apologize if I am going about this process incorrectly, but I did a good amount of research on how to deal with deleted articles and I am a bit lost in the woods. As I understand it I am supposed to contact you, as an Admin, who can help with the restoring of the article. Thanks very much if you're able to help. Cheers >(talk) 11:52, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Firstly, my apologies for the delay in replying. Given the circumstances and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ra Ra Riot, unfortunately this will have to go to Wikipedia:Deletion review for wider consideration, as I can't unilaterally overturn this (if it was a speedy deletion I could consider it, but AfD's are done by consensus and I can't just ignore it and undelete). If you filed at deletion review asking for permission to recreate the article, people will comment and a result (either to keep deleted or allow recreation) would be reached. "As I understand it I am supposed to contact you" — thank you very much for that (yes, you are correct that a user wishing to contest a deletion generally must engage with the deleting administrator before filing a deletion review), but as I noted above, given the circumstances, my hands are tied so I can't even consider undeleting it. Should you file at deletion review, you do so with my full blessing, rather than a "didn't discuss it with me" protest (as would have happened had you not commented here first). Cheers, and sorry again, Daniel (talk) 12:13, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
