The result was Speedy keep. This is heading for a snowball if not already there right now. Questions of the faith of the nomination aren't playing a part in the decision to close this one early. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 00:25, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Runrig

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

The article lacks severely in sources and has been tagged as such for months now with no-one attempting to fix it whatsoever. It is generally a bad article which should be deleted and perhaps started over. Boingboingboingboing 17:55, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

• Keep the international touring alone makes them notable. Many articles need editing - that's not reason for deletion. MarkBul 18:54, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Runrig are notable for their part in the Scottish Folk Revival and their music is regularly heard on the BBC's folk programs. Badly written articles need to be edited, unsourced ones sourced, not deleted. I'll have a go at doing both.KTo288 19:30, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Speedy Keep extremely notable band, passing WP:MUSIC on every point. That this is the nominator's first edit suggests a bad-faith nomination. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:43, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - Obviously passes WP:MUSIC, as it sourced reliably and is also a band that has been on international tours. However, though this is the nominators first edit and perhaps bad faith, let us assume good faith by assuming this was a good faith nom. --Tλε Rαnδom Eδιτor (tαlk) 20:25, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - Major Scottish band, obviously passes WP:MUSIC, and article is now better sourced thanks to KTo288. Iain99 21:55, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
• Obvious Keep Runrig were a big band in their time. Did the nominator look for sources himself before nominating? Nick mallory 23:48, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
