27 July 2016[edit]

  • MojofloEndorse. There's a fair bit of sentiment here that WP:SOFTDELETE would have been a better close, but nobody's actually arguing to overturn the ultimate result. – -- RoySmith (talk) 14:25, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I was the closer of this AfD for a band, but User:Lostasil (who identified themself as the band's manager) asked me to have this deletion reviewed. I arranged with them that I would set up the deletion review but they would have to provide the explanation for why the band is notable and the article should be brought back. So see below for their comments once they are posted. Metropolitan90 (talk) 13:35, 27 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment @Metropolitan90: Is there some reason why you decided not to WP:SOFTDELETE? Thincat (talk) 06:54, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Endorse absent any further reasoning that is should be restored. SOFTDELETE would have been an option (and I guess still is), but I really can't see this surviving long if resurrected. The arguments presented on Metropolitan90's talk page (a) I don't interpret the guideline on local significance in the way it seems to be being applied and (b) the sources presented are the results of poll's which are of course gameable, so I wouldn't give much weight to. --82.14.37.32 (talk) 10:40, 30 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Endorse, apart from the web poll, there was not even really an assertion of importance in the article and it was borderline CSD A7. I personally prefer to close discussions like this as soft delete, but normal delete is also defensible. I'd also like to see some reliable sources discussing the band before recreating the article.

  • Endorse, no reason to restore. The AFD was low-participation but there's absolutely no reason to imagine that more votes would have changed the result. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:56, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
