The subject is not notable. There is no article at Killer Pussy, her band or Teenage Enema Nurses her "smash hit". Captain panda 19:25, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

• Speedy and Salt This article has been A7'd at least once, if not more. DarkAudit (talk) 19:35, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

  There was a speedy tag on the article previously, but it has been since removed. Otherwise, I would have speedy tagged. Captain panda 19:39, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

  Hi. I'm the one who removed that tag. Notability is asserted, and a quick Google search turns up an article saying "she once reigned as front woman of Killer Pussy, Phoenix's fave '80s punk band." That was close enough to WP:BAND's "Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or of the local scene of a city", that I wasn't comfortable speedying it.

  I disagree. (Circle gets the square.) Just saying that they were Phoenix' favorite '80s punk band without a source -- at least in my book -- isn't really an assertation of notability unless it's sourced.

  I'm not talking about just tagged, but tagged, deleted, and recreated multiple times today. DarkAudit (talk) 20:21, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

  I understand there has to be a source, which is why I said I found it in an article. this one, which I also put on the article talk page. That still may not be enough for WP:BAND, and I don't have an opinion on keeping the article. I'm just explaining why I declined the speedy deletion request.

• Comment Speedy declined (by me) Let's just sort it out here. For what it's worth I found nothing on a brief look that vaguely supports our notability criteria. It's pretty much a G11 puff piece. I say delete but let's run the AFD on this. Pedro :  Chat  20:58, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. NN Dreamspy (talk) 20:59, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete. zippo on AllMusic (Killer Pussy does have a handful of credits, but nothing suggesting WP:MUSIC would be passed). Not an A7, but not notable either. Seems like it needs WP:SALT?--Dhartung | Talk 21:12, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete and salt. There's no reason to keep going through this over and over again. Qworty (talk) 22:54, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

• Comment I've cleaned it up a bit, although I don't expect that will change anyone's opinion. No opinion about whether it should be kept or no, but I do think the article is one of those that is going to suffer from the fact that the internet only really covers info from the last 10 years or so. -- Naerii 01:50, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

• In fact keep though I'm fighting against the tide, per WP:MUSIC: "has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or of the local scene of a city". Phoenix New Times called them "Phoenix's fave '80s punk band" and the sources I've added to the article seem to verify that they were indeed significant in terms of the punk scene in that area in the eighties. -- Naerii 01:58, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
