How does an article go about asserting the notability of its subject? What would be an example of an article which asserts notability but doesn't establish it?
Those poor fellows who make music in garages in suburban towns in the American Midwest seem to be a particular favourite target, so let's give an example involving them:
" '''Hormonal Screamings'' is a rock band hailing from Houghton, Michigan. Next year they are going to take over the world. "
Editors would be permitted to delete that.
So that's an example of an article which you feel *doesn't* assert notability. It still doesn't answer the question of what it means to assert notability, and it isn't an example of an article which asserts notability but doesn't establish it.
I still have no idea what it means to "assert notability" or what "an article with no claim to notability" is.
