[edit] Suppression With Violence
Was prodded, but someone removed it. This is a non-notable band, and the verification is flimsy. seresin | wasn't he just...? 20:04, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
- Delete Non notable at the moment. A google search returns no results (not that it's that simple, but it's a good indication of non-notability) PeterSymonds | talk 20:30, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
- Delete Cannot find any mention about them via google or yahoo. Fails WP:MUSIC. Undeath (talk) 05:33, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
True, that one may not be able to find mention of this band elsewhere on the internet, however, this is because the band disbanded in 1994... before Al Gore invented the internet, or at least before the net was as widely used as it is today. The band was interviewed for various fanzines in and around Buffalo, and that is where this article has come from. Those fanzines also became defunct prior to the internet, however there are hardcopies of those fanzines. This band was a strong force in the music scene in Buffalo, and many bands have since sited them as influences in their tapes/cd liner notes. Look at the discussion page and see the curiosity and support people have for this band and page. Jigglyball (talk) 14:20, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- "This band was a strong force in the music scene in Buffalo" - can you provide us with some proof? Like, perhaps scan some copies of those zines and put them online for us to see?
- "and many bands have since sited them as influences in their tapes/cd liner notes." - again, can you give us some proof of this? Tell us which bands, which CDs they're mentioned on? AllGloryToTheHypnotoad (talk) 19:41, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
- "Look at the discussion page and see the curiosity and support people have for this band and page" - yes. That's weird. 4 different anonymous editors have shown up in 2 days and contributed to this article - but no other articles, ever. Then they, and a few other anonymous people who've never shown up before, all post comments on the article's discussion page. I wish an administrator could join in this discussion so that he can look at these people's IP addresses for us. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad (talk) 19:45, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:NMG and general lack of references and fan-site appearance. Stifle (talk) 18:53, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
- delete - unverifiable, probably hoax. Only references on Google are to a demo tape by the band Deprived - who were from Portland. If they were notable in any way in 1994 or afterwards, there would indeed be proof of their existence on the internet. On the other hand, if they were only mentioned in a few local fanzines and then never again after they broke up, that to me is iron-clad proof that they were NOT notable.AllGloryToTheHypnotoad (talk) 19:46, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
