Conspiracy theories abound
Wikipedia recently contacted swiss guards HQ to instruct us that our entry 'swiss guards, band' was to be deleted on the grounds that we are ''not notable'. Hmpff. This is a fairly subjective view for an online encyclopaedia that doesn't actually exist and can be altered, added to and edited by anyone who logs in.
There are at least 3 possible explanations for their short sighted and subjective policy.
1. We are not notable enough. Go to wikipedia. Click on 'random page' 10 times. How many pages come up that are 'not notable enough'? A hamlet in Wiltshire, a hill in south-east Asia, a man who set up a little company, a machine that does'nt work, a minor American civil war captain etc etc etc. Where does this notion of notability come from. We exist. We make records. We sell downloads. We play gigs. What is un-notable about that? Is notability really a question of scale? Only famous things can be notable it would seem.
2. There is a conspiracy. We've been sitting on this for a while, but if one were paranoid one could begin to feel that a certain major international religion has it in for us. We borrowed the name of the army that guards the Vatican City and protects the Pope. This has upset some people. Our youtube videos have been bombarded with abuse from irate Catholics (There's a good band name- somebody use it). Is it beyond the realms of possibility that his Holiness and those that do his work have been trying to shut us down, deny us airspace, webspace, the oxygen of publicity? Does the Pope control wikipedia? I'm not Dan Brown or Tom Hanks, but these questions may be worth persuing.
3. We just ain't notable enough. Unlikely.
Reader, you'll have to make your own mind up. Feel free to contact wikipedia to complain on our behalf. But be careful out there.
