[edit] Steel Lily, Tow the Line, Argon Cola

Delete vanity band listing, and its nonnotable albums. No AMG entry for the band or its albums, and I could find no relevant google hits for the band name (most refer to the nickname of Eowyn, the Tolkien character, or about a type of material used in jewelry). "Steel Lily" + "Tow the Line" gets 0 google hits, [1], "Argon Cola" by itself gets 0 google hits.[2] In this day and age, a band or an album that has no internet presence cannot be notable or verifiable.

• '"Keep" Not True. i have a band and It's not on the internet, yet it still exists. ...posted at 04:26, 2005 Jun 18 by 208.191.105.216 (contributions)
  • Please see the Wikipedia:Vanity page. Rocky
• Keep. "Has gone on an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in a large or medium-sized country" is a criteria. France Counts. ...posted at 04:37, 2005 Jun 18 by 208.191.105.216 ((contributions))
  • Vote struck through as duplicate—same anon as voted above to keep.
• Weak Keep.. Are you sure that merely not having an internet presence easily findable to means that it is not notable? I cannot speak for the notability of this particular band as I don't know anything about it, but it seems quite possible that there are bands that are not online. Is a band posting its own website, listing itself in directories, and getting SEO help or some friends to make vanity web links to its site so that it gets many search results the difference between notability and non-notability? -Mysidia 04:41, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Yes, it's entirely possible that a real-life band doesn't get Google hits. So let's have some other proof then. -- Hoary 04:46, 2005 Jun 18 (UTC)
  • Yeah, it might exist, but I'd wager good money no one but its members care and so neither should we. How could a band that has no fansites and no albums, concerts or reviews even mentioned online possibly have made any impact beyond their own garage? Postdlf 16:46, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. A vanity page--Porturology 05:17, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Music notability and band vanity are in fact immaterial in this case. The article cites no sources and (by Postdlf's search results) no sources can be found. Notability and vanity are immaterial if we cannot prove that these articles aren't simply made up from whole cloth by their author. Unverifiable. Delete. Uncle G 20:40, 2005 Jun 18 (UTC)
• Delete all three as unverifiable. -- Hoary 00:34, 2005 Jun 19 (UTC)

• Delete all 3 as unverifiable.-Splash 01:00, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete all, garage band vanity. JamesBurns 04:37, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

February 10, 2006 relisting

Claims three albums but I can't find anything about this band on google, if this gets deleted the album articles should go too. Ruby 01:59, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per previous deletion debate. At the least, notability no more verifiable now than it was then. All album pages and members' vanity pages linked from there should go too, per Ruby. --Kinu 02:04, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
• This and all accompanying articles have been speedy deleted as recreations of previously deleted material. I have notified the author of WP:MUSIC and WP:DRV, so if he reads the first and is still convinced that the previous AFD was in error, he can make his case at the second. Absent undeletion consensus, these should be deleted on sight if reposted again. Postdlf 02:10, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
