The result was No Consensus to delete. This is clearly a borderline case, and I just don't see overwhelming arguments or sources to call it either way. Eluchil404 21:05, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The Frustrators
As pointed out at the AFD for one of the albums by this band, this article fails to demonstrate notability. The subject just borders it but fails to assert it with references. Seraphim Whipp 22:00, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
- Weak Delete At the moment, I'm having problems with keeping this as the article reads more like an advertisement and description of the band then anything else. However, everything around this band is that way as well including the label Adeline Records --BlindEagletalk~contribs 19:29, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
- Keep - They're a band, pretty notable, on Green Day front man Billie Joe Armstrong's record label. References cant be too hard to find - article just needs some work. Porterjoh 22:31, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
- Delete If you can come up with those references, I'll change my mind. Please put them in the article where they belong. MarkBul 22:52, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

- Delete. Better of as a subsection in the relevant articles. There isn't much of a claim to notability other than that there are famous people in it. That in itself isn't worth an article, IMO. Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry 23:48, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
- Delete - A mish-mash of musicians from other bands that has resulted in a band that seems to be going nowhere. No tours, one CD so not very notable from a musical POV. Given that notability isn't inherited it appears that they aren't very notable from a WP POV either.---- WebHamster 00:52, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
- Comment. I have redirected the other album article following the precedent set at the other afd. That album article had two sources so I have moved the info over. I think now it contains some references, it's notability does seem better established. Seraphim Whipp 09:56, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
- Weak Keep Adeline Records does confirm that this band is on their label, and released two albums on it, which technically is all that is required under WP:MUSIC. It would be nice if they met at least one other criteria (I am NOT including "notable members" since that usually applies to redirects only), but that works for policy.

- Strong keep. They clearly meet WP:BAND. They meet criterion #6. They're just about there for criterion #5 (two releases on a "more important" indie label, albeit one is only an EP). The article could do with some references, but that's a reason for a clean-up tag, not deletion. Bondegezou 10:12, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
