The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was no consensus - while verifiability is non-negotiable, I'm not convinced that there are no reliable and/or non-trivial sources available. Apart from Google, I get 131 hits on Factiva from reliable publications like the Toronto Star, though obviously not all of those are primarily about the band. I recommend a second nomination in a few weeks' time if no-one cares enough to actually pull out some reliable sources and use them to verify the article. --Sam Blanning^(talk) 12:55, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mean Red Spiders

Non-notable band from Canada. Unsourced and notibility tags had been placed June 23rd with no additions or talks. Lsjzl 20:49, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Keep - Yeah, someone needs to clean up this article, but Google shows thousands of hits for them, including many credible and notable Canadian music sites. Parsssseltongue 21:47, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Horrible article as it stands now but the band is still notable. BoojiBoy 21:54, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Fails WP:MUSIC for lack of awards, news articles, national tours, charted tunes. Most of the Ghits mentioned are music catalog listings. It's not enough that people claim the band is notable, that has to be verified and sourced. Article also looks like OR, and advertising. Tychocat 01:21, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
