[edit] Rüms

Not Notable; obscure garage band, no claims to notability other than people going on to other obscure bands, which I am also going to nominate as part of this AFD. Brianyoumans 22:14, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Additions - I have also nominated Martin Giguère, his next band Deimos (band), and "power metal legends" Days of Yore. Days of Yore are probably the most notable - they put out one album, and reportedly played a festival. The other releases are listed as "independent" releases - the listing on the Encyclopaedia Metallum lists the others as demos. I don't see any signs that they ever toured. --Brianyoumans 22:26, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

• Strong delete But you could have WP:PROD'd it, vanity pages and non-notable bands, people, etc. don't need to go through the AfD process. The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 22:28, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

I was a little uncomfortable with prodding them; I'm not a metal fan, I'm not French Canadian, and I don't usually mess with band articles - I thought it would be better to discuss the deletions in AFD. --Brianyoumans 23:24, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

You can prod something if it doesn't assess its topic's notability. The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 23:33, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

True, but these bands all contain "guitar virtuoso" Martin Giguère, a member of "power metal legends" Days of Yore. I think the articles had claims of notability; perhaps poor claims, but I wasn't positive. --Brianyoumans 23:43, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for responding so fast, Brian. Most pages on musicians, whether they are non-notable or famous, often inflate the credentials of the person. It also happens with articles about movies and video games (even books!). What you listed sounds like some non-notable BS that a person excitedly wrote in order to make the band sound better. I don't want you to assume bad faith with every band you come across, but bear in mind that this stuff happens a lot. Anyway, you can always check the article against a notability guideline (in this case, WP:MUSIC). I see you are no newcomer to deletion, so I apologize if I am retelling things you've already known.

• Speedy delete per A7 for Rüms, Martin Giguère, and Deimos. Fails WP:MUSIC and non-notable. For Days of Yore, I'm thinking weak delete. --Nishkid64 22:57, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete No pictures, no website, article substanceless. User:Yy-bo 22:53, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
