[edit] The Skull Defekts

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

Contested speedy. Possibly notable due to association with other bands. I'm neutral on this one. Petros471 18:09, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete as per {{db-band}} as it does not pass WP:N and looks like a advert, so you could also slap {{db-advert}} on there aswell Dep. Garcia ( Talk + | Help Desk | Complaints ) 18:18, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:MUSIC. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 18:30, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
• Comment Just so you get the other side of the story, here's what Qmwpeto reasoned on my talk page after I originally speedy-tagged it:

I do not understand the reasons for your "speedy deletion" tagging and the and subsequent deletion of the The Skull Defekts article. It/the band fulfils quite a few of the criteria listed in the notability article for bands. For instance 5, Members were previlusly active in Union Carbide Productions, Kid commando and Anti-Cimex and 6, the band is the most prominent act of both the Gothenburg and Swedish electronic scenes.

I'm sure he won't mind me reposting it here. Marasmusine 18:31, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Comment Even navigating through the complexity that is the Scandinavian music scene, Kid commando don't appear too notable per WP:BAND, and the other two look to be borderline. EliminatorJR ^Talk 23:28, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - Claim of notablity in argument above does not translate to actual notability as there are no obvious references to be found. If there are references out there but they are only in Sweedish (which I can't read) then it would be fair to assume the band is not notable outside Sweeden, in which case an an article on the Sweedish Wikipedia would be more appropriate.
