[edit] The 0898z

ATTENTION! If you came to this page because a friend asked you to do so, or because you saw a message on an online forum asking you to do so, please note that this is not a vote on whether or not this article is to be deleted. It is not true that everyone who shows up to a deletion discussion gets an automatic vote just for showing up. The deletion process is designed to determine the consensus of opinion of Wikipedia editors; for this reason comments from users whose histories do not show experience with or contributions to Wikipedia are traditionally given less weight and may be discounted entirely. Please sign your posts on this page by adding ~~~~ at the end. You are not barred from participating in the discussion, no matter how new you may be, and we welcome reasoned opinions and rational discussion based upon our policies and guidelines. However, ballot stuffing is pointless. There is no ballot to stuff. This is not a vote, and decisions are not made upon weight of numbers alone. Furthermore, the presence of many new users in discussions like this one has made some editors in the past more inclined to suggest deletion. Please review Wikipedia:Deletion policy for more information.

If you weren't part of the music scene in North London in mid 1990s, then you wouldn't have heard of The 0898z perhaps. Bet you've heard of Soul Tax though right? And Sound Garden, formally Libery Hall, and John Somerville. Eh? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Moker (talk • contribs) .

I live not 300 yards from the Torrington. And one who claims to be "part of the music scene in Norh London" might well have heard of that. 86.140.102.176 Tonywalton  | Talk

You mean Starbucks right? Anyway, that's in Finchley, not Barnet. Don't delete! Muffinhead 11:43, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Please refer to the discussion page on The 0898z for further points from other Wikipedia members on why this post should be kept.—the preceding comment is by Moker - 14:19, 27 April 2006 (UTC): Please sign your posts!

How come everyone who wants to slag the Barnet scene and delete the 0898z is either a science geek or a trainspotter? Not exactly the kind of people to have been on any rock scene or qualified to talk about noise punk . There are far less notable / influential bands on Wikipedia—Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.9.55.80 (talk • contribs)

First Off,aggressive remarks like those are not tolerated on Wikipedia. Secondly, don't bring other article into the matter, they are different articles and if you want to bring our attention to them, list them for afd. J.J.Sagnella 19:47, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, I still have fond memories of being abused by the 0898z at Garystock 193.34.231.226
• Keep: I went to Barnet college, I remember these guys! Ellie —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.86.213.196 (talk • contribs) 12:58, 28 April 2006.
• Keep, obviously - But why is JJ Sagnella so against this reasonable post? But will happily create a post about Kung Fu Chaos an Xbox game. I'm in no way criticising this move, but surely, more people will look at the 0898z post and update / amend it than a superfluous post about a single computer game that no-one heard of? I say keep 0898z post as it is arguably more poplular / relevant than many post in Wikipedia.—the preceding comment is by Moker - 12:25, 28 April 2006: Please sign your posts!
