[edit] Heathen Girls

Heathen Girls (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Does not meet WP:MUSIC. One album in 1982 and then they broke up. The only sited source is a website site for another band.

  • also Rose Whipperr's page (lead singer)

  • Delete both for lack of evidence of notability; was the album on a major label? Doesn't sound like it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JJL (talk • contribs) 15:36, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep The Sex Pistols also put out one album and then broke up. While these guys aren't in that league, I have found mailing lists where music fans were looking for info on this band. If there had been a WP article when they were looking, everybody would have been happier. Mykej (talk) 17:37, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
However they still do not meet the guidelines for a band.GtstrickyTalk or C 17:49, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
Which is why they aren't called "rules" for a band. Judgment overrules (or should) slavish devotion to the top 40. Mykej (talk) 18:35, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
Usefulness isn't a keep criteria and wikipedia is not a directory of bands. ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 04:33, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as failing WP:MUSIC; while there may be some exceptions to the rule when it comes to these guidelines - the Sex Pistols are a good one, as they rather impressively impacted the world of music with their album - this band has no apparent lasting notability from its one EP.

  • Delete Both - fails WP:MUSIC, WP:BAND by a landslide. Long-orphaned stubs about a long-defunct, non-notable band and a singer of which about fifteen people have heard. 47 Google hits for the band (led by this article, Whipperr's website and a Myspace page, a sure sign of notability death), 84 hits for Whipperr, including Wiki mirrors and blog posts. Judgment should indeed overrule slavish devotion to the rules, when needful. In this case, they should agree in every particular.  RGTraynor  21:44, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Quick note, I've nominated a related article for deletion as well: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rose Whipperr. ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 18:27, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Doesn't have anything on iTunes, and iTunes is supposed to be the world's biggest music library. --Gp75motorsports REV LIMITER 17:41, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
