I decided to bend the rules a bit and speedy this. Here's why. First of all, the article says in no uncertain terms that the band does not meet the music guidelines, so three's no need for the review process that is allowed by AfD but not by CSD. More importantly, the article is basically an ad for the band's gig in a week or so. By keeping this up for several days the article will have served its purpose as an ad, and it will encourage other bands to get 5 days of free advertizing for their gigs by writing such articles (the fact that few people are likely to view the ads is beside the point). Keeping these for any length of time is a bad precedent. -R. fiend 21:51, 8 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
The blend[edit]
Non-notable band, fails to meet WP:MUSIC. Labeled as CSD, but non-notable bands are not a CSD — Phil Welch 18:01, 8 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Actually, speedy, as an ad for a show this week. -R. fiend 18:08, 8 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete per nom, and probably for other reasons as well (fails to establish notability.) Paolo Liberatore (Talk) 19:22, 8 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
