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

Incomplete afd. Anon gave "see Wikipedia:Notability (music)" as the nomination reason. I have no opinion. --- RockMFR 06:00, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

• Weak Delete. Doesn't look notable to me, though they mention getting some radio play and working on an obscure soundtrack. Needs sources. Bobanny 08:50, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete I can't find any articles on these guys. They aren't even listed on AMG either. If there are published articles on them I'd reconsider. --W.marsh 13:17, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep seem to be reasonably well established and notable within their subgenre & area even if not to a wider audience. I've written plenty of articles on bands less notable than this which no-one's had a problem with. - Iridescenti 22:25, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
• keep per User:Iridescenti - they would probably fail Wikipedia:Notability (music), but I've always felt that the criterion there is too stringent and arbitrary. Wikipedia:Notability (music) admits that it only lists rules of thumb, anyway. However, it really seems to fail WP:ATT and WP:V, and the article should certainly have been tagged for a major cleanup. I almost want to vote delete, but won't because to be fair you'd pretty much have to delete most other indie band articles. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 00:36, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
• delete - Article fails WP:ATT and WP:V, no independent sources (ooh - a MySpace page!), and if you read the page history you see a user named TimtheCamel did all the editing. To me, this now smells like a vanity page slightly disguised to make it not read like a press kit. I'd happily change my vote if anyone proves notability, though.
