There's and article on Wikipedia (WP) that is about Misery the Band. A distant cousin of mine is the bands guitar player. It's been nominated for deletion by Giggy. Have a look at the article, and then think up reasons why it's a threat to WP? I can't think of any. Some have judged them not notable. Maybe they don't meet WP's standards of being notable, but then it's time to look at the standards. I understand you can't have everything on WP. But maybe you can have a band that's been around for about 20 years. I'd like to see page traffic numbers for the article on Misery, but I don't know of any way to do that. Maybe that ought to be part of the criteria.

If you Google "Misery the Band", WP wins that search, but not if Giggy has their way. I still think, the goal despite what you've heard, is traffic. If the Misery article draws decent traffic it should stay. Good things in the future come from more traffic. This is a case where traffic will drop with the deletion, unless it somehow increases traffic because people perceive a higher quality encyclopedia. Now remember what WP is used for as I blogged not too long ago. It's Anime, which I think has something to do with cartoons, but I never cared about what it is? So we have Anime good, Misery the Band bad. This band probably fits right in with WP's normal traffic. WP could be a place for a decent useful article for interested people, but not in this case, as Giggy just had to protect WP from Misery or whatever. I recently asked them specifically why they nominated this article for deletion. I'll see if they answer?  

In the mean time, please vote as a reasonable person would, if it's not too late, and please no sock puppetry.
