[edit] The Franks (band)

The Franks (band) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Non-notable band page created by a WP:Single-purpose account that has been aggressive about deleting the notability tag. This band fails WP:Music. Most of their potential notability is based on the assertion that an album will be released next year. Qworty (talk) 04:01, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete, article fails to establish notability as per WP:MUSIC.  Esradekan Gibb  "Talk" 04:30, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete fails this. Speedy delete perhaps? Xdenizen (talk) 05:12, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Bands and musicians-related deletion discussions. -- Fabrictramp (talk) 15:14, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep: According to the Wikipedia: Notability (Music), A musician or ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, DJ, musical theatre group, etc.) is notable if it meets any one of the following criteria: 9. Has won or placed in a major music competition. Surely the Glastonbury New Talent competition, as pretigious as it is, constitutes a 'major music competition'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Beenie2000 (talk • contribs) 05:43, 10 April 2008
  • Delete Fails WP:MUSIC. The "major" music competition isn't in itself notable. Lugnuts (talk) 16:46, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom - non-notable. Dreamspy (talk) 18:23, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, n.n. at this stage. tomasz. 16:37, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
