Not notable; self-published 25-year-old EP by Canadian high school garage punk band. No sales, no airplay. Arthur Ellis 12:28, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

• KEEP Bad faith nomination. Again, this is a war instated by user Arthur Ellis against everything linked to Warren Kinsella. The Hot Nasties are the most influential band of the Calgary Punk Rock scene. Read "Smash the State : A Discography of Canadian punk 1977-92" by Frank Manley if you want an idea. YES it is notable. The fact that it was self-published must not be taken into account since nearly ALL early punk rock bands self-released their stuff because major labels didn't want to sign punk bands. No sales? UNTRUE. They made 1 000 of these and they sold out very fast. Now, this 7" is selling for more than 100 $ everytime it gets on eBay. No Airplay? Have you ever seen an early punk band who got Airplay? Please stop the madness and keep this entry. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 205.237.53.91 (talk • contribs) .
• Comment if this is a notable release, surely references can be added? WilyD 16:43, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep I sure am! This article is now an obvious keeper! Looks to me like it passes WP:MUSIC, WP:VER, et al. WilyD 18:53, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep this seems to mean a lot to punk enthusiasts like 205.237.53.91. Bad faith by Arthur Ellis. The record would be an excellent fit to the Wiki discography. Pete Peters 02:46, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per WilyD. — Reinyday, 04:11, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete If a 25-year-old self-published EP by a Calgary Canada high school punk band is Wikipedia material, then what isn't?209.217.124.37 18:51, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Actually, Pete Peters, who's been registered with Wikipedia all of two weeks, we do take deletion comments from IPs.209.217.124.37 18:53, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
• Comment 209.217.124.37 is clearly a sockpuppet for user Arthur Ellis. Something must be done about that particular individual. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 205.237.53.91 (talk • contribs).

• Comment Please don't add outing, personal insults.209.217.110.241 12:22, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Not Wikipedia material. Any tally of pre-nomination hits on this page? The interest must be minimal.209.217.110.241

Comment: Most of these delete votes are coming from one ISP's block of dialup IP addresses -- and some of thse addresses have been used for various tomfoolery related to Kisnella/Hot Nasties/Bourrie, et al ad nauseam, all speaking for one side of the pissing match. Admins, please take note. Ianking 06:09, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

• Merge with Hot Nasties. While this nomination came from a user with a fetish for discrediting all things Kinsella, my view is that the EP isn't notable enough to merit its own entry. Describe it on the band's entry. Ianking 06:09, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
• KEEP and DON'T MERGE This 7" is one of the earliest and more important Canadian punk rock 7"'s and sells for more 100$ each time it appears on eBay. It has been influential enough to be included in its entirety on the "Smash the State" compilation as an example of Canadian punk rock.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.226.160.237 (talk • contribs).
