[edit] Death of a lifetime

Band created earlier this month. Asserts 2 "number 1 hits" on a chart I don't recognize. Unsourced. NawlinWiki 15:54, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete per WP:V. Apparently a cover band. Both the songs are notable by the original artists, but fail google search combined with this band's name. Fan-1967 15:59, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
  • I'l vouch for them, won the east london GAN band contest.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Man man man (talk • contribs)
  • Exactly. They have not yet reached a level of notability which warrants their inclusion here. Fan-1967 16:08, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

  • David is referring to Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#A7 which states: "Unremarkable people or groups/vanity pages. An article about a real person, group of people, band, or club that does not assert the importance or significance of its subject. " -- Fan-1967 16:14, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
yeah, i understand that, i meant your(fan-1967) comment that because they won the east london GAN contest, they have not yet reached a level of notability which warrants their inclusion here. And besides, they are a real band, you can go and see them play 3rd october I think it is at IG6Man man man 16:17, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
Read Wikipedia:Notability (music). We have articles on bands with record deals, reviews in major music publications, national tours. Winning a local contest doesn't come close. Fan-1967 16:20, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
Well, fan-1967, you have obviously been sleeping on your job to miss this concert.Man man man 16:21, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
I live in Chicago. That's the thing. This is a worldwide encyclopedia. Fan-1967 16:23, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

About your(fan-1967) comment that because they won the east london GAN contest, they have not yet reached a level of notability which warrants their inclusion here. EXPLAIN please because it doesn't make sense!Man man man 16:28, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
I don't understand why you're repeating the same question. Let me put it as simply as possible. Nobody outside of East London has ever heard of them. We don't do articles on unknown bands. Fan-1967 16:28, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

DON'T DELETE!!!!!!!!!!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.203.224.9 (talk • contribs)

  • Speedy Delete as "an article about a band, singer, musician, or musical ensemble that does not assert the importance or significance of the subject. (CSD A7)". Their claim to two number 1 hits is patently untrue. -- IslaySolomon 17:13, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

That might not be the case because you haven't seen the MCSGA charts.Man man man 18:08, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
