[edit] Shades of Pale

Keep. When I first learned of this band's existence, I found I wanted to learn more. Thus, I went to the place I usually go when I want to learn about a rare band: wikipedia. Unfortunately, to my dismay, no such article existed at the time. So, I took the initiative and created one, so that future perusers of wikipedia would have access to that which I, at first, did not. The service I provided was one that should last forever. Allixpeeke (talk) 00:20, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

• Just to confirm, as it sure confused me for a moment, despite !voting "keep", Allixpeeke above is indeed the user who initiated this AfD..... ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:26, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, actually fails WP:MUSIC, only some self-released tapes. Punkmorten (talk) 10:02, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, unless some evidence of secondary coverage can be added or the cassettes were issued on a recognized label. I couldn't find anything significant on the web.--Michig (talk) 10:35, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete – Could find no information. Shoessss |  Chat  13:47, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - Self-released cassette only titles, no professional reviews, only Google hit comes back to this article. Fails all notability requirements. - Hal Raglan (talk) 14:38, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - Sorry... just can't seem to get my mind to cross the Notable line... --Pmedema (talk) 19:20, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Band appears to fail WP:MUSIC. Their casettes appear not to have been released on a notable label.--h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 19:36, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
• Comment...I am so utterly confused by the fact that this person would write the article a year ago and then take it to deletion today, despite not wanting it deleted... --Smashville^BONK! 22:30, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it doesn't seem to make too much sense, I agree, but I think he/she was simply confused by the Proposal for Deletion tag that had been placed on the article a few days ago. Instead of simply removing the tag, he/she created the AFD. I don't believe that was the actual intent, but since the subject does indeed seem to be lacking in notability and therefore, in my opinion, the article should be deleted, I think we should keep the AFD open.-Hal Raglan (talk) 22:42, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

I agree...also, with all of the arguments being delete and based in policy, I don't think it can be withrdrawn. --Smashville^BONK! 22:57, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Doesn't seem to meet WP:MUSIC criteria. I don't seem to find any reliable sources either. --Smashville^BONK! 22:57, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
