[edit] Blitzkrieg (punk band)

Nn band, 1 Google hit for band name + members, POV article -- Laur 06:48, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

• • Keep after rewrite and establishment of notability. -- Laur 19:25, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. No allmusic entry, fails WP:MUSIC. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:22, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Having seen the rewrite and the comments below, I change my vote to keep. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:08, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Nn Band in an article badly written and unformatted. Karkrash 07:29, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and rewrite if this (scroll down a little) is correct: it states - Lest We Forget EP (#11 Indie Charts 1982) followed by a UK tour with Mayhem & Varukers. Animals In Lipstick (#30 Indie Chart 1983). LP 'Future Must Be Ours' on Retch recs. A retrospective split LP with Insane was rel on Capt Oi! recs in 1997. The article does need some work though.

The re-write has now been done. Alf ^melmac 10:05, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

• • Alf seems to have found some notability here, an appearance on a chart, so I'll vote marginal keep. Everyking 12:37, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. National tour meets WP:music and chart placement indicates significance within genre. Thanks to Alf for the rewrite. Capitalistroadster 12:40, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Unless I'm mistaken, Metallica covered a Blitzkrieg song on the Kill 'Em All album ("Blitzkrieg" was the song title as well). And there is an allmusic entry. Band still exists & has released at least five studio albums. I'm not saying they're famous, but I think they're notable even if only for the Metallica connection. | Keithlaw 13:53, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, as they appear to meet WP:MUSIC. Friday (talk) 23:27, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

• Question: Would it be more consistent with Wikipedia style to name this article "Blitzkrieg (band)" instead of "... (punk band)?" | Keithlaw 19:21, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - well-known (though never big selling) cult punk band. --MacRusgail 20:24, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

As someone says above, it would be best to retitle this to "Blitzkrieg (band)" --MacRusgail 15:41, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

• This AfD is now about eight days old. Can someone close it out? Thanks. | Keithlaw 02:47, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
