[edit] Power glove (band) & their Total Pwnage self-album

Non-notable band. Prod tag was removed, so it's being sent to AfD Cnwb 04:59, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

• I absolutly love this band. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.110.205.240 (talk • contribs)

• Total rubbish. This band is HUGE and a pioneer in a very limited genre. This is a reputable band which brings over 786 hits on Google. Domfeargrieve 05:02, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

• Comment I'm not too sure about this band, but it should be noted that Domfeargrieve created the article. --TBC^{??? ??? ???} 05:14, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
• That is true, but shouldn't cloud your judgement over whether this band is notable or not. This is no selfish self-promotion, meerly a band that I am shocked and appauled is not yet included on wiki. Domfeargrieve 05:17, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as non-notable, WP:VSCA. As much as I love the Power Glove... it's so bad, their album Total Pwnage (which should also be deleted) is admitted to be a self-produced demo. Googling for it yields 4 results, one of which is their MySpace page and the rest being sales pages on their own website. Doesn't seem to meet WP:MUSIC to me. --Kinu 05:22, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
• Do not delete Not a nn band. I have heard of them. They have a wide fanbase Dave 05:24, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. Domfeargrieve has been fiddling with the votes, creating false users; [1], [2], [3], [4]. Cnwb 05:35, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Domfeargrieve asserts that these comments were made in his name without his permission. Giving the benefit of the doubt for now. --Kinu 06:13, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:MUSIC. This should have been a speedy db-band. The article makes no assertion of notability; metalwhore.com is not even a reputable source, let alone major music media. Melchoir 05:48, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

If you look on Domfeargrieve's Talk page, when he was accused of using sock puppets and forging other user identities to his posts, he claimed in reply that somone was using his account without permission. Since by the user's own admission these statements were not made by him, it seems perfectly reasonable to indicate that they are not real votes. Thatcher131 11:39, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

It also seems perfectly reasonable to me for him to strikethrough his own comments if he claims that he did not make them. However, that does not mean that you should strike through a someone else's statements as well based on something he says. Savidan 15:39, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Striking out repudiated text is a service to the community that may be performed by anyone. Snottygobble 00:05, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as not meeting WP:NMG. Capitalistroadster 07:00, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:MUSIC and the myspace test. Stifle 12:02, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per all of the above, (even though I'll admit that I think what they've done is pretty cool)...if there's enough of a market for what they do, they'll become notable enough for a Wiki article. Until then...gotta delete 'em --Bugwit grunt / scribbles 15:59, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
