No one cares about your garage band: This is an actual Wikipedia admin page helping administrator identify pages created to promote someone’s garage band.
Typical characteristics of garage band pages […]
Lack of capitalization: People making articles about their garage bands generally forget that capitalization of proper nouns is one of the underlying principles of the English language […]
Lack of any formatting whatsoever: As 99.9% of garage-band-page-creators have no prior experience with Wikipedia and its formatting system, garage band pages are often devoid of the markup present in standard pages.
[…] Use of the word “hardcore”: All garage bands, even if they are not “hardcore” seem to love to describe themselves as such.
They helpfully include a sample article as an example of what to look for and delete:
BRINGERS OF DARKNESS are revitalizing audiences with their raw energy live show and undeniable chemistry of brotherhood. They transcend a world that is locked in genre and commercialism; though they know they can’t do it alone, they are the seeds of a revolution.
Members: Tim kingsworth - guitarist born to rock, tim has written many of bringers of darkness’s best songs including “my love is like ten thousand arows”
Shayne tracy -vocals Stunning gutteral screams, as raw and wild as the songs
barett lee- bass player the best bass player in idaho is barett lee, his awesome riffs bring bringers of darkness’s songs together
wade wilson- drummer played everyware, now the pumping heart of bringers of darkness beats
It just gets funnier in the section entitled “How Do I Know if Anyone Cares About my Garage Band?”
I think my two favorite non-article pages on Wikipedia are Don't stuff beans up your nose and Don't delete the main page, the latter created after a Wikipedia administrator did just that.
