Declined speedy, fails WP:BAND. SchuminWeb (Talk) 06:19, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete, A7, I don't see anything in here other than "unique for their style and dance moves while on stage" which is far too vague to count for anything. If not speedy, then simply delete for lack of notability. Hairhorn (talk) 12:13, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I didn't speedy this when I saw it, because it does contain a few reviews. But they seem to be purely local in scope, and didn't indicate any particular notability to me. My attempt to discuss that on the talk page was a dead end, which makes me suspect that the author understands that the band doesn't meet the criteria. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 12:44, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I had dropped a speedy tag on this, as it was lacking citations at the time. Still, even with citations, it seems to fail notability (fails criteria 1-12 as it stands right now). I can't confirm this, but I suspect there may also be a conflict of interest on the part of the author. My suspicion is based on this being the user's first page on Wikipedia, and the passion with which the author has defended the article seems to suggest the author may have a close affiliation with the subject of the article. It feels like the author is trying to get out information about their band with reckless disregard for Wikipedia's standards (also Commons standards regarding no copyright rationale on the picture).Gnowor^Talk2Me_{did wha?} 17:24, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
