Cause for Alarm (band) moved to draftspace
[edit]An article you recently created, Cause for Alarm (band), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

- Onel5969, If I recall correctly, the reason I created this article was because I saw a need to disambig in some other article. Thanks for breaking that!. Wwwhatsup (talk) 16:08, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

Russell Hunter
[edit]Re The Deviants (band) - was he really born in 1946??? I thought he was over 80 when he died. You knew him personally. Romomusicfan (talk) 05:38, 2 October 2025 (UTC)
- I did know him and would not think he was much older than me (I was born in 1950). I did read a good autobiographical interview a while back, where he talks about his early life. Did you see that? Wwwhatsup (talk) 07:29, 28 October 2025 (UTC)
