[edit] AaRON

Originally speedied by me but I restored it after a DRV to send it here. Band does not appear to meet WP:NMG and definitely does not have sufficient, or any, citations to back it up Stifle (talk) 17:23, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete Normally a pair of interwiki links (fr. and de.) go a long way to convince me of notability. However, based on my rudimentary knowledge of French, the French article doesn't say much beyond the English one. Delete this article, and let the French speakers worry about their own wiki, since there's no unity among wikis in deletion process. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 18:05, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
The current state of the article is not reason for deletion; inherent lack of notability is. A notable subject with a bad article should be cleaned up, not deleted. This is a notable subject, which should have been clear at the DRV but which was restored by the admin and nominated for AfD without any cleanup. Chubbles 18:35, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per Shalom. ILovePlankton(L—n) 18:25, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep For some reason, the nominator is ignoring the reason for the DRV. The band has had a gold record in France and a major chart hit; I just added references. Easily meets WP:MUSIC. Chubbles 18:27, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep The references added by Chubbles prove the notability of the subject (double gold, and chart peaks) Pumpkin 18:50, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep per Chubbles Jcuk 23:28, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Well established and famous band in their native France, easily notable under WP:Music. A1octopus 16:23, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Chubbles puts it well, the state of the article doesn't have anything to do with notability... neither does the state of the French article. And a certified double gold album meets the established criteria (see #3).. #2 and #10 have also previously been shown. Oyejorge 19:46, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Undoubtly Notable article, and they have a great song "U Turn". CG 15:13, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
