[edit] Spam (The Band)

Spam (The Band) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

No notability. A band who is not signed, and has self-recorded only one album which it is giving away on its own website. This is, in my opinion, borderline spam. AKRadeckiSpeaketh 01:06, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete; "Spam" by name, spam by nature. NN. Masaruemoto 01:34, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete fails WP:BAND Bucketsofg 02:38, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete. An unsigned band with no records on the charts, haven't played a gig yet and have only released a song over the Internet. Capitalistroadster 03:21, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Meh. Maybe A7. IvoShandor 14:35, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
    • There's a "notability" section that makes me crack up because it really says that Spam is a lot like other bands, which is the opposite of asserting notability. I'm actually leaning towards the direction of a speedy right now. Morgan Wick 16:56, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Yep. Interestingly, this article was nominated for DYK, which is how I came across the AfD. IvoShandor 22:00, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete per the article's lead section. Resolute 04:26, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete no assertion of notability, in fact article and lack of third party reliable sources seem to confirm that this band isn't notable in any way. IvoShandor 14:34, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - seems to fail notability requirements. John Carter 15:42, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as non notable, and also deleted badly licensed images. J Milburn 21:37, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - no assertion of notability; but they do like to write about themselves! -- MightyWarrior 22:24, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
  • The name says it all. Delete. TheLetterM 23:37, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - Per everything written above. —Wordbuilder 00:14, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
  • I understand that the article does not meet the notability guidelines established. I was not aware of them when writing the article. I accept the article's deletion without protest, go ahead and do it right now. I want one thing clear though. I've been reading these comments (sorry for mine being so late, I only just found this page), and am hurt by some of them. I did not intend for this article to be cheap advertising or spam, as a lot of you are taking the piss out of. I wanted this to be a factual, well-written article. Despite the notability factor, I personally think it was well composed. It's better quality than a page like Seether in terms of the way it was done. I do accept that you have certain standards, including the notability factor and requirements of third-party sources. I will repost the article (updated of course) in a while, could be a year, when it has met your criteria. I am sorry about all of this, I was simply trying to create a good article. When I have the chance, I will remove the links to the page I have placed in other (appropriate) articles. Like I said, sorry, though some of you don't need to be so rude about it all.

    • Don't take it so hard. We all have to learn and sometimes have to learn the hard way. To your credit, the article was put together better than many I've seen on notable subjects. Save the text, that way when notability is establish, you can add the third-party sources and re-introduce it to Wikipedia. —Wordbuilder 03:54, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
    • Thank you Wordbuilder. That's what I intend to do. In the meantime, some mod can go ahead and delete the page. I've already got all the text and coding saved. Adnlloyd 05:36, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
