[edit] The 4 Drams

(contested prod) Non-notable band: complete lack of verifiable evidence, advertising, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball Pak21 17:36, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

• I fail to see how it is adveritising....no more advertising than say the Bob Dylan page or other musical bands pages. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cicero Dog (talk • contribs) .
  • Comment: 1. Bob Dylan has had many, many hit records. The 4 Drams have done nothing. 2. To quote from the e-mail you yourself sent me: "The page was created as a promotion for their forth coming and eagerly awaited album "[snip]" which will be released on "[snip]" on the 22nd of August 2006." (snips by me to prevent more advertising here). You created it for the express purpose of advertising. --Pak21 19:09, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - no album, no tour, don't even appear to have played a gig. At best, very premature. Ac@osr 20:20, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy delete per nom and per Ac@osr. Aaaaaaabsolutely no notability at all. Why speedy delete? Well, does the author even try to establish a reason for the band needing a WP article? -- Kicking222 20:50, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: At User talk:Pak21#The 4 Drams, it is claimed that the band have been seen by over 100,000 people, which is what stopped me from trying to speedy this one in the first place. Cheers --Pak21 20:57, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Vanity articles generally aren't grounds for speedy unless the meet the other criteria, such as being nonsensical. This is certainly vanity though, as the original submitter seems to be part of the band. -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 22:05, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Not notable. DarthVader 22:34, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

• This is being carried out as a personal vendetta by all parties against the Wikipedian Democacy Movement —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cicero Dog (talk • contribs) .
• Delete Certianly not notable, as mentioned above not a good enough reason really to provide this band an article JRA WestyQld2 12:46, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete non-notable, and Cicero Dog advertised for support votes: Cicero Dog would also like to take time to draw your attention to The 4 Drams article which, for the good of humanity, must be saved. - Pureblade | ^Θ 18:09, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per above. --BrownHairedGirl (talk • contribs) 16:43, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
• DO NOT DELETE this article provides information about a band that the whole scottish folk community is dying to hear more about. Deleting it serves no purpose. Perhaps people should research the band more before they try to delete it. Cicero Dog 20:38, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
