The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete all. Either the band is notable in itself or it is not; affiliation with other (notable) bands makes no difference, unless it is well-documented. As of now no third-party source has been found. Note that the deletion includes band's members and the album.--PeaceNT (talk) 03:45, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Allele (band) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

No assertion of notability. Fails WP:BAND. Recommend Delete. Dchall1 (talk) 04:47, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

• Delete Only claim to notability is that they have a song that gets played when you play a video game, nothing else, does not meet WP:MUSIC, I would suggest rolling into this afd Andy Toole, Lane Maverick & Giancarlo Autenzio, who's only claim to notability is that they are members of this non-notable band. -- Ļıßζېấשּׂ~ۘ Ώƒ ﻚĢęخ (talk) 04:54, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related pages because they don't pass WP:MUSIC: --mariusstrom 04:56, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Lane Maverick (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Giancarlo Autenzio (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Andy Toole (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

And I am also procedurally listing another related article (isn't this fun?): Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 12:36, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Point of Origin (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

• Delete per nominator. Also recommend strong delete of the individual band members pages as well. --mariusstrom 04:56, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

• Delete Obviously non-notable band. Seems logical that the band members therefore are not notable either, so delete those pages, too. --Crusio (talk) 06:49, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep meets WP:MUSIC per association with former member of Cold and from touring with successful bands. Catchpole (talk) 10:10, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

• According to WP:MUSIC a redirect to the notable band is appropriate in cases like that. --Crusio (talk) 13:00, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Indeed. Not deletion. Catchpole (talk) 13:25, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

So I take it that your vote recommendation is "redirect", not "keep"? --Crusio (talk) 15:38, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

AfD is not a vote. It doesn't matter if he says "redirect" or "keep". The closing admin can clearly see what the editor is advocating -- RoninBK _{T C} 15:55, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

• Weak keep, contains two members of other notable bands. Their only album was on an apparently notable label, so I'm sure there's something somewhere about this band. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 12:36, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

• Note that WP:MUSIC requires at least two albums released with a major label. --Crusio (talk) 13:00, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
• Comment Actually, their label is pushing the definition of notable as well. Dchall1 (talk) 15:31, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Corporate Punishment Records isn't notable, i will nom next up. -- Ļıßζېấשּׂ~ۘ Ώƒ ﻚĢęخ (talk) 23:17, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

• Delete. Fails to fulfill WP:BAND criteria. Rsazevedo ^msg 23:30, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Bands and musicians-related deletion discussions. —Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 23:57, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
• Comment—There appears to be at least a little independent third-party coverage. --Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 00:02, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
