[edit] The Dastardlies

Nonnotable unsigned band that has not yet released an album; author removed my speedy tag twice without asserting notabililty. NawlinWiki 01:37, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Nonnotable is a relative perspective. The Dastardlies are not the first unsigned band to be housed on Wikipedia (ie Long Shot Hero).

Delete - Googling them, I get a few hits, but probably not any more than for any local band. I couldn't find anyone claiming they were especially notable, other than their own site. --Brianyoumans 01:55, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete: Gigging band on MySpace. Without distribution, a label, and press, this would be an announcement or ad. If other unsigned bands are on Wikipedia, please nominate them for deletion. Geogre 02:26, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - fails WP:MUSIC. Fabricationary 02:28, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, it's a MySpace band, which fails WP:MUSIC. The existence of one bad article does not justify the existence of others. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 02:55, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - fails WP:MUSIC per "Taken from their Myspace account..." and WP not a crystal ball per "...slated to be released in August of 2006." Welcome back after the record charts. And not September 1st, please ;)  — MrDolomite | Talk 03:05, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. -- Gogo Dodo 04:05, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy delete -- the majority of the text on the page is a long, direct quote from myspace. This crosses the line from fair use quotation to simple copyvio. -Harmil 06:21, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - fails WP:MUSIC and the history is one big admitted copyvio. -- Whpq 13:16, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete - non-notable. Moreschi 21:10, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. The fact that there are other nonnotable bands with articles on Wikipedia is not an argument for this one to be kept---it merely means that there is a great deal more work to be done getting rid of the others. ---Charles 21:44, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Not notable yet. rootology 06:15, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
