The result was Result is a mess to clean up, but doesn't seem to be anything to delete. I'll try to untangle things.... Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 16:31, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable band, only sources are their Last.fm page. Wikipedia is not a promotional vehicle for your band.
I am also nominating the article on their debut album, Arco Iris (album) under the same criteria. TheLetterM (talk) 19:31, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
With the new sources provided per Paul Erik, I am withdrawing my nomination for the article's deletion, provided that the Skybox page be reverted to its previous state as a disambig page, the band article moved to Skybox (band), and the sources be cited in the article.

- Delete According to WP:MUSIC (or whatever the shortcut is), indie bands need to have several major, widely popular and charting releases. Shapiros10 contact meMy work 19:33, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete A7: Article about a band which does not assert notability. A google search for coverage in reliable sources turned up nothing.Skomorokh 20:12, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]- Keep and move per Paul Erik
- Revert back to previous state Was a proper disambiguation page about luxury boxes and the trading card company and a video game construction term. This band is unnotable and there was no need to relocate that convenient disambig for one band that should've gone to Skybox (band). Nate • (chatter) 20:57, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Revert to disambiguation page, per above. FYI, it's always good to check an article's history before bringing it to AFD. Zagalejo^^^ 21:18, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Revert to dab page. I see nothing useful in the first or last 100 of the 496 unique Ghits for skybox +indie (no quotes). Even if I'm wrong and the band is notable, it is not notable enough to be the main entry on "skybox." AnturiaethwrTalk 23:00, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Revert to dab page Necessary dab for a term that has multiple definitions. The band isn't notable. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 00:12, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Revert to dab page, non-notable band. Esradekan Gibb "Talk" 01:05, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Revert to dab page if the band is notable or becomes notable the article should be created as Skybox (band). Jasynnash2 (talk) 12:26, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Arco Iris (album) as a non-notable album and change the Arco Iris dab page back to the one about the band of the same name. Making sure to name the band page Arco Iris (band). Jasynnash2 (talk) 12:30, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Move to Skybox (band). Sources that help to establish this band's notability under WP:MUSIC criterion #1 include this article in The Arizona Republic, and a review of their album in Billboard (Dec 2, 2006. Vol. 118, Iss. 48; p. 40); see here. Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 17:44, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Move to Skybox (band) per Paul Erik (the two cited articles, most notably the Billboard review, help satisfy WP:MUSIC) and move Skybox (disambiguation) to Skybox per WP:D and WP:MOSDAB. B.Wind (talk) 02:47, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete and Revert to dab page - as failing WP:MUSIC. TerriersFan (talk) 15:23, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I moved Skybox to Skybox (band), which is not notable enough to claim first rights, intending to clear up any resulting double redirects. I posted on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Untangle please for help with the tangle after having been slammed by sudden acute dyslexia :/ — Athaenara ✉ 16:16, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
