[edit] Mistula

At first, this seemed like just another band vanity page, and after the creator didn't respond to my comments on their talk page, I speedied it. However, the creator left some comments on my talk page, and I now believe that this article could actually stay on Wikipedia. I'm putting it up for AFD, but abstaining from voting since I'm a bit ambiguous on this. I'll let you guys decide. - ulayiti (talk) 15:42, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

• KEEP I believe this article should stay on Wikipedia for the following reasons: 1. This is not a vanity or promotional page for the band. 2. This article provides information about the first virtual/concept band in the Philippines and their achievements. 3. It focuses on a band that is pioneering a new genre in the Philippine music scene. 4. Mistula gives a glimpse of the current innovations that impact the Philippine rock scene. 5. This supports the Wikipedia article virtual band, where Mistula was used as an example. --Webmessiah 18:09, 26 August 2006 (UTC)Webmessiah

• Weak keep appears to have received attention from MTV Philippines, a google search also backs this.--Andeh 18:16, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep As Webmessiah stated, Mistula is the first virtual band in the Philippines, and they are indeed pioneering a new genre in the local music scene. Their music says a lot about the Filipino faith and culture. Not only are they well-known in the Philippines, but are also known internationally due to the fact that they web-based and accessible to everyone. Silentaria 16:09, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Info is accurate, support can be backed up from mentioned sources (MTV Philippines, Myx, Pinoy Radio, Rakista, Philmusic). Google search displays snippets of band info, this article collects and sums up everything and therefore helpful to both old and new followers of the band and the genre they have created --Puppet Prophet 18:48, 26 August 2006 (UTC)Puppet Prophet

• Keep especially per Webmessiah #5 above. And seems notable enough. Dina 23:02, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Webmessiah's five reasons. Plus it has placed in international competitions. GBYork 00:12, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep as Mistula is part of the Wikipedia entry for Pinoy rock

• Keep This is a valid band page, plus it forms a necessary part of the Virtual Band article. --JB Adder | Talk 14:28, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep This is also a great reference on the influence of the web and how the band has used this to reach an international audience. It also links in with Super Dollfie, Ball-jointed doll Cresh24 15:02, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
