[edit] Nero (band)

This article survived its first deletion attempt. The votes were 5 for delete, 1 weak keep, 1 keep by a then-new user (who signed their name manually), and 1 keep by a now-blocked user. The band's one release was self-produced and self-distributed and they are now defunct. One rationale for keeping was the band has been on an "international tour"...inasmuch as a date in Vancouver if you live in Oregon counts as an "international tour". This is the one criterion in WP:MUSIC where Nero's standing is anything beyond clear-cut failure, and even there they fail by the spirit, if not the letter.

• Delete as nominator. StarryEyes 20:00, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Seems to have good detail, and only went defunct because their lead vocal was killed in an accident. Dev920 20:03, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Yes, lots of made-up detail. You can't use the death of your friend as an excuse to keep an advertising page on wikipedia. -- Femmina 23:50, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Article still does not cite it's sources. Does not verifiy what tour they were on. No Reliable Sources cited. Fails all points of WP:Music. Looks very much like a vanity page. --Brian ^{(How am I doing?)} 20:14, 14 August 2006 (UTC)I used three `~` instead of four when I signed this last time. Self-edited to correct my signature.
• Delete fails WP:V as it has no reliable sources. WilyD 20:13, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete fails WP:Music Spearhead 21:26, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete vanity page for a non-notable band. 100% original research. -- Femmina 23:40, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:MUSIC. Note that the only criterion they might possibly meet is "Has gone on an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one large or medium-sized country, reported in notable and verifiable sources." The editors who support this article would need to come up with sources to support the description of the band's tour. I would consider a show in Vancouver, British Columbia to be an "international tour" for an Oregon-based band only in the most technical sense anyway. --Metropolitan90 04:43, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, notability may have been questionable in 2005, but definitely not present now. NawlinWiki 14:18, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. International tour, and several CDs listed at http://neroband.home.comcast.net/newnero/order.html
  • • CD 1: Live at Ina's Spider House. Show recorded 7/21/05
    • CD 2: Nero. Album recorded December '03
    • CD 3: Live at the Black Forrest. Show recorded 11/24/04 (2CDS) TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 10:59, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Is that a joke or what? "The following CDRs are available. They are all homemade. See below for ordering instructions." That's what the page says. Oh, and... TruthbringerToronto... What about stop stalking me? -- Femmina 13:10, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete No way should this have survived; Unvertifiable, vanity and een falls below the risibly low standards elaborated in WP:MUSIC. Eusebeus 15:56, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nominator. Time to fix our mistake. RFerreira 21:50, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
