[edit] Ampere (band)

Delete marked for speedy, but not sure if it qualifies yet (although it probably should). Isn't noted at Allmusic, no notability established, so probably standard nn band vanity. Could be proven wrong though. Speedy if it qualifies of course. TheMidnighters 06:50, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

• Delete NN band vanity. Also, is screamo like emo but with screaming? Leithp 08:59, July 10, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Since notability has now been established. Leithp 07:37, July 11, 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy nn vanity, etc. and yes, scremo is emo music but they scream a lot and junk. The mere fact that this article is only one sentence and is pretty bad as-is, leads me to believe it should be vaporized -mysekurity 17:15, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Bassist is a former member of Orchid (band) and band is signed to Ebullition Records satisfying WP:MUSIC. I will add this info the article. This is a good reason to vote against Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion/Proposal/3, Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion/Proposal/3-B and Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion/Proposal/3-C.

Is Orchid (band) extremely notable? That's what the guideline requires. And being signed to a majour independent label doesn't satisfy WP:MUSIC, releasing two or more albums does, according to the article they only have one release, and it's an EP. However, they do pretty well by Google and would appear noted (however slightly) in the genre. Vote changed from Delete to Weak Keep. --TheMidnighters 19:34, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, signed to a major label and notable member is good enough for me. Kappa 23:44, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep of the weakest kind. Might be just barely notable. --Etacar11 02:09, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete not notable enough. JamesBurns 08:20, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per Pburka. Yes, this is an excellent reason to vote against CSD 3-C. Sjakkalle (Check!) 10:32, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, passes WP:MUSIC per Kappa. Radiant_>|< 14:27, July 11, 2005 (UTC)

Commment Just to clarify once more, this band does not meet WP:MUSIC. That doesn't imply that it shouldn't be kept, just that it shouldn't be kept for that reason. Orchid was notable (apparently), but not extremely so, meaning inclusion of the bassist (whose name is nowhere to be found despite numerous claims that he's notable) does not satisfy WP:MUSIC, nor does releasing one EP on a notable label. --TheMidnighters 19:24, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Notable per Kappa. WP:MUSIC is a poor policy, and should not be referred to. Almafeta 21:01, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
• Cleanup, it's notable but needs to get to a higher quality, MajorLeagueSoccerFreakSevenSevenSeven
• Keep. While not extremely notable, an effort was made to make it notable. The band in question is signed and has released material of a sort. There is a strong chance they will gradually become more notable in the future. --100%MoreAwesomeThanYou 18:06, 18 July 2005
