This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because...I am in the process of writing this page up for the band, Killbot. I am in the process of adding the citations to http://www.dimmak.com/artist/killbot/ so that the information is verified as accurate. I have told Tyler Blue, a member of the band, that I am making this wikipedia page for the band to which it was approved for me to do on their behalf. One of the members of this band is Jonathan Davis, lead singer of Korn, which should make this a notable article. Do correct me if I am wrong, but if now isn't a time I can create an article on Killbot, at what point can I?

These are good questions and I will help you if I can. There is a set of rules that governs what "notability" means for things in Wikipedia and for musical groups, it's found at WP:BAND. (Click to read it.) You can see there are 12 thresholds and if the band can meet any one of them, it would be notable. As near as I can tell, you are suggesting that the band qualifies under #5, "Is an ensemble which contains two or more independently notable musicians, or is a musician who has been a member of two or more independently notable ensembles." (I would think that in that definition, "notable" means "notable enough to already have a Wikipedia article".) Is it possible that Mr. Davis "has been a member of two or more independently notable ensembles"? That is, Korn and one other? That might do it. If you can find evidence of that and add it to the article, it would probably be enough. I don't see any other way YET that the band can be notable; I gather it hasn't released any music at this point, so nothing has charted, etc. So this might have to wait until the band meets one of the requirements of WP:BAND.

I will copy this to your talk page -- you will see a message when you sign in -- in case this gets deleted. Let me know if I can help further. Ubelowme _U ^Me 00:11, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because this is a legitimate EDM band. If this can't be included on Wikipedia, then, you might as well delete The Doors, The Rolling Stones, Korn, and many more --Tjohnsond (talk) 03:41, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• • Timeliness of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) to Affect Change in the Current "New Normal" Education**

The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has transformed education worldwide, ushering in a "new normal" where online learning has become the primary mode of instruction. In this context, Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have proven to be a timely and influential tool for educational change. MOOCs are online courses that offer open access to a vast range of subjects, providing opportunities for learners to access high-quality education without the constraints of location or traditional classroom settings.

One of the most significant advantages of MOOCs in the "new normal" education system is their flexibility. Students no longer need to adhere to rigid schedules or physical classrooms. With MOOCs, learners can access content at their convenience, which is particularly beneficial for individuals balancing work, family, and education. This flexibility fosters an inclusive learning environment that accommodates various learning styles and schedules, making education more accessible than ever before.

Moreover, MOOCs offer a wide array of courses, from basic literacy to specialized professional training, allowing individuals to upskill or reskill quickly. As industries rapidly evolve in response to technological advancements, MOOCs are crucial for keeping the workforce competitive and adaptable. In fields such as technology, business, and healthcare, online platforms like Coursera, edX, and Udemy provide up-to-date, industry-relevant content that can be accessed globally.

The affordability of MOOCs is another key factor in their timeliness. Many courses are offered for free or at a minimal cost, significantly reducing the financial barriers to education. As a result, learners from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds can gain access to high-quality resources and certifications, democratizing education in a way that traditional institutions often cannot.

In conclusion, MOOCs are highly timely in the current educational landscape. They support flexible, accessible, and affordable learning, driving significant change in how education is delivered and experienced in the "new normal." 2001:4456:177:6100:A441:D1E9:6C62:7560 (talk) 17:12, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
