The Moving Van Goghs

No notability as per WP:MUSIC. Nouse4aname (talk) 10:19, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There's plenty of information here; the article just needs to be wikified. Fumoses (talk) 13:05, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To say 'plenty of information here' is meaningless, since that's not a reason cited in nomination: its lack of compliance with basic notability standards is. Perhaps you would care to address those that were cited? --CalendarWatcher (talk) 13:43, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Information is never meaningless. "Notability," on the other hand... Fumoses (talk) 14:27, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The comment did not assert that the information is meaningless, but that your argument to keep based on there being lots of information is meaningless. You need to provide evidence that the article passes the necessary guidelines at WP:MUSIC in order to prevent deletion. That is all that counts in AfDs.

Delete, as the nominator says the article fails WP:MUSIC; neither Allmusic or Rockdetector has heard of them, Google produces no evidence of non-trivial coverage by multiple third-party sources, and the labels the band supposedly released albums on are also non-notable.

Delete notability not asserted, and the article was made by one user [1] so i would aim a guess at conflict of interest. Darrenhusted (talk) 13:20, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Straight-forward failure of basic standards, as per User:Blackmetalbaz. --CalendarWatcher (talk) 13:43, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This debate has been included in the list of Bands and musicians-related deletion discussions. -- Fabrictramp | talk to me 23:03, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have also made attempts to find sources, finding only a directory-like listing in a Google News archive search, and finding some interesting articles about actually moving art work, when I searched a library database of newspaper articles, but nothing about the band. Delete unless sources appear by the end of this deletion discussion. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 23:13, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
