[edit] Staple (band)

This is an advertisement for a likely non-notable band. As a quick googling shows, the text is lifted straight from the band's promotional biography. Since this is not noted in either the text or the talk, this probably a copyright violation as well. NTK 19:24, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'm perfectly aware of that. However copyvio usually presumes it's worth having an article on the topic to begin with. VfD moots copyvio, so there's no sense in bothering with researching the status of the text or rewriting it if the article should be deleted for being promotional, non-notable bandcruft.

• Keep but rewrite. This is not band vanity; however, the person who made the article copied it from the Solid State Records website, which does make it sound like band vanity (it's more actual label vanity =P ).—Sixteen Left 02:45, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
