[edit] The Dissonants

This is a non-notable, unsigned, unproduced garage band. Tysto 23:45, 2005 August 9 (UTC)

• (Keep) The Dissonants have already worked with Class E Records and are in discussions with them regarding future projects. As well, their EP will be released in the next month. Considering that they've written many songs & the fact that they're well known in the Montreal scene, they should not be deleted. --65.94.186.53 14:52, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

• Delete -- writing many unreleased songs and being anecdotally well-known in Montreal just doesn't cut it. See WP:MUSIC. Ben-w 00:10, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete because their sound is difficult to pigeonhole. -- BD2412 ^talk 00:56, August 10, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep Why are we deleting this entry? Is it because this band is guilty of "vanity"? I thought that Wikipedia was about documenting real things, not just "hits" or bands that can be "pigeonholed". Agreed, they're not on Muchmusic or playing on the radio, but does that make them unworthy of being in Wikipedia?--70.80.127.229 11:04, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Yes it does, actually. Wikipedia is not a personal website or a compendium of all human knowledge. An encyclopedia documents only notable bands, buildings, inventions, people, bridges, films, religions, companies, art movements, video games, and so on; not every single one. This band can have their own website practically for free. If they become popular (or notorious), Wikipedia will welcome them. --Tysto 13:16, 2005 August 10 (UTC)
  • It's nothing to do with their genre or pigeonholing or how good you think they are. Has anyone outside the band and its friends written about them? Heard of them? Are their records available anywhere? Have they done any serious touring? Consult WP:MUSIC and ask yourself honestly how the band measures up to the criteria. Genre don't enter into it.

• Sounds like the Dissonants are being deleted. They shall return! (Nice to see that most of the Deleters are non-notable, in their own right.) :)--65.94.244.215 01:30, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
