  • Delete. Does not meet criteria set forth in WP:MUSIC. Movementarian 11:30, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete and it looks like a vanity article --Mecanismo 11:31, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Don't Delete! Useful article about notable music group.--Chuck555 16:51, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment Please tell us more as to why this band is notable, and moreover details of its albums/tours/etc. Stifle 23:45, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, per Movementarian. Andrew Levine 18:39, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete per nomination. I have at least 20 google hits, and I'm only one person. — FREAK OF NURxTURE (TALK) 18:59, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, more non-notable bandcruft. And it meets the main criterion for non-notability: a myspace page. Stifle 23:45, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Don't Delete The fact that the band has a myspace profile doesn't take away from it's notability at all. Neil Diamond has a myspace profile; does that make him not notable? (Unsigned by Apollu, the user's first edit.—jiy (talk) 06:26, 14 December 2005 (UTC))
    • But Neil Diamond's myspace profile is supplementary to the 120 million records he has sold, his presence in the mass media, the critical reception he has recieved, etc. El Fhat's myspace profile is the only claim to fame El Fhat has, and that alone is not sufficient for inclusion on Wikipedia.—jiy (talk) 06:26, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
      • El Fhat's myspace profile is supplementary to the successful northwest tour they had, the following they have built, and the successful album they have released. Just because they have not gained world-wide reception does not prove their non-notability.--Tuscon6 04:55, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Do not delete. Like I said, many notable bands have myspace accounts. I personally found this article to be very insightful and the fact of the matter is that if were to go undeleted, it would literally make no difference to you guys. Let it stay up for those who enjoy it and for those who have a decent taste in music.--Zeegloo 00:23, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
    • The point isn't whether they have a myspace account or not, it's whether that's the extent of their web presence. Unless evidence is given that they qualify under WP:MUSIC, I say delete. Confusing Manifestation 14:47, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Do Not Delete What evidence is given that the band does not meet the WP:MUSIC standards?--Tuscon6 05:21, 14 December 2005 (UTC) I myself am a fan of the band's music and would appreciate it if the page was left intact. El Fhat is one of the most influential and loved underground acts of the northern U.S.--Tuscon6 16:22, 12 December 2005 (UTC) (The only edits this user has made is to this AfD request.—jiy (talk) 06:26, 14 December 2005 (UTC))
  • Do not delete. This band has a vast underground following. By the way stifel, who the hell are you? Wouldn't you meet the criteria for non-notability as well —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.72.197.148 (talk • contribs) 17:35, December 14, 2005 24.72.197.148
