[edit] Scissorfight

This band does not appear to meet WP:MUSIC. Several albums on obscure labels. 721 unique Ghits. NawlinWiki 17:22, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

• Keep The article was rated "stub-quality" on the WP rating scale. One question I have, though: Was this article ever tagged for notability or importance prior to the nomination for deletion? If so, for how long? Diez2 17:27, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
  • That rating is irrelevant. It was placed by a 'bot as a result of the {{US-punk-band-stub}} being used in the article. Your question isn't really relevant, either. What is relevant is whether the subject of the article satisfies th WP:MUSIC criteria. If you wish to make a proper argument for keeping it, please cite sources showing that this band satisfies one or more of the criteria. Uncle G 17:41, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep It meets WP:BAND, on the criteria of, "Has been featured in multiple non-trivial published works in reliable and reputable media (excludes things like school newspapers (although university newspapers are usually fine), personal blogs, etc.)" Diez2 17:50, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Where are the sources? They don't seem to be in the article. ColourBurst 21:49, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Not enough independent reliable sources presented to demonstrate notability. Sorry to add this to the burden of their album being delayed "due to the hard drive the album was being stored on accidentally being erased." I hate like hell when that happens.

• Delete. As per ColourBurst, there are no references to third-party coverage in the article. Sandstein 06:55, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Scissorfight in their own genre are as notable as many of the other Indie bands on wikipedia. Xpendersx 17:22, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete The band is not notable enough and there are no sources to cite to counter the argument. I second Sandstein. --Evening Breeze 07:18, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
