The result was Delete though, I think recreation should be allowed if it can be sourced and proved (through WP:V) that it is notable. However, consensus and the arguments of this article leans towards deletion. Yanksox 16:46, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Floating Men

Tagged and contested. Band still have "real jobs" - i.e. are not full-time musicians. Unlikely to pass WP:MUSIC and no evidence in the article of meeting it. Author acknolwedges difficulty of finding information. Just zis Guy you know? 09:13, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy delete under A7 if there is no assertion of notability. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 09:27, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. May have a mild assertion of notability in the fact that they've been touring since 1990 and have released several albums, hence A7 wouldn't apply, but not notable enough to pass WP:MUSIC as is. Neil916 14:40, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep - Seem to have toured intensively across Midwest and Southeast US. Take a look at their allmusic bio [1]. --Joelmills 03:10, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

 AFD relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• Delete - while they have done some touring per their allmusic bio, I don't think it meets the criteria in WP:MUSIC of "national concert tour...reported in notable and verifiable sources".--Gay Cdn (talk) (email) (Contr.) 01:56, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, fails WP:MUSIC. Scorpiondollprincess 14:29, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete...insufficient musical notability to merit inclusion in Wikipedia, per WP:MUSIC alphaChimp ^laudare 15:21, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Gay Cdn's application of WP:MUSIC. Joe 18:52, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, fails WP:MUSIC. --Coredesat talk. ^_^ 19:26, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep : Give time to find sources Not everyone is good at finding good sources, and often articles with regular editors and even some people who read the talk end up AFD'd without anyone poking them with a "find sources". If this group have been touring and playing for that long, there should be at least a few local paper mentions of them. LinaMishima 20:32, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep. They have a significant Google presence and have bios on respectable music sites. -newkai | talk | contribs 22:54, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
