Fascist Fascist[edit]

This was a stub I wrote a long time ago about a local Baltimore band. It was speedied before I noticed, so I've restored it because it is clearly not speediable under A7. The article claims notability, and cites it (though the link didn't work because the source changed urls, I have found the new url and fixed the link). Whether or not it is enough is another question, so I have nominated it here. Tuf-Kat 02:12, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose deletion as it meets WP:MUSIC 6. Tuf-Kat 02:12, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Non notable garage band. •Elomis• 02:42, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. One brief mention in a local paper is not enough to be a reliable source. Article doesn't meet verifiability policy. --Wafulz 03:46, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Stubby little article cites 1 source which is possibly a blog. Insufficient evidence of notability, not very encyclopedic. Edison 05:45, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy Delete How does this assert notability? The link doesn't even say who the "prominent musicians" are. "Fascist Fascist is a punk rock supergroup, made up of Baltimore musicians from other notable bands. With female vocals over standard punk song constructions, the band pulls off a sound totally refreshing and relevant." This is 1. a passing mention, and 2. there is no claim that these other bands are notable for Wikipedia. ~ trialsanderrors 08:36, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Even with the edit it stilll doesnt meet the WP:MUSIC criteria.SkierRMH 09:03, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per WP:Music Amists ^{talk • contribs} 10:56, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete WP:MUSIC states that they must have either a number 1 hit or sold over 500,000 copies. Atlantis Hawk 10:59, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Doesn't pass WP:MUSIC. I also believe that TUF-KAT, as the article's creator, shouldn't have used xyr admin privileges to undelete the article. He or she should have requested a deletion review instead. Aecis ^{Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984.} 14:06, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy delete, I don't care what the content is. TUF-KAT should not have restored this entry without going through WP:DRV. For shame. -- Plutor ^talk 14:40, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Contested speedy deletions should go to AFD, not DRV in my opinion. Either way, cut the guy some slack for nominating the article for deletion on his own, will you? RFerreira 06:26, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • But articles in which an admin is involved should not be undeleted by the admin himself/herself, as that is a misuse of admin privileges. TUF-KAT should have let another admin undelete the article following a request on DRV. Aecis ^{Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984.} 10:06, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy Delete It still does not seem to meet the WP:MUSIC standards and its ghits turn up very few results for the band itself.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 16:45, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, non-notable band. Tempshill 18:31, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, doesn't meet WP:MUSIC. 0L1 Talk Contribs 22:29 16/11/2006 (UTC)
• Delete. No evidence that this meets WP:MUSIC yet, but I agree with the nom that this was an invalid speedy deletion and support him for doing the right thing. RFerreira 06:27, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Does not appear to come close to meeting guidelines set forth in WP:MUSIC. The article should have gone to Deletion Review before being resurrected. Movementarian (Talk) 09:47, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
