[edit] The Tailies

The Tailies (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This has been deleted 3 times under A7. The article lacks multiple non-trivial sources. Therefore fails to meet WP:V or WP:Notability. Are unsigned and therefore unlikely to meet WP:Music. Spartaz Humbug! 19:54, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment Apparantly the second AFD on this band but as the previous was closed after one edit in favour of a speedy, I'm keeping at AFD so that any future reincarnations can be speedy deleted. --Spartaz Humbug! 20:03, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. There's no sources to verify notability in the article- and indeed no assertion of notability in the article that I can find. Googling "The Tailies" brings up mostly "Lost" fan pages, but adding the name of the members still doesn't reveal any useful sources. -FisherQueen (Talk) 20:23, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Per past AfD and Speedy. This page also needs to be protected from re-creation. Djma12 (talk) 20:50, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Although there aren't many sources yet i am planning to start creating internet links first, i started with wikipedia, (be honoured ;]) and if you read the messages on the talk page then you may understand —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wilko2205 (talk • contribs) 21:28, 17 March 2007 (UTC).
    • No, no, no. It goes the other way around. First you release multiple albums commercially, and play gigs on national-level tours. Then, you get famous and written about in newspapers, magazines, etc. Finally, the externally verifiable, sourced information can be used to construct an article on Wikipedia. -- saberwyn 21:46, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, obviously fails WP:MUSIC, author concedes (on the talk page) that the band is not notable but says there have been "numerous requests from fans asking for both a myspace site and a wikipedia page." These fans clearly do not understand the purpose, scope, or goals of Wikipedia, so their requests are irrelevant. The author also asks for a special exception from the notability requirements for no particular reason, except, "I don’t see the harm". The harm, of course, is that it would be patently unfair to tens of thousands of other non-notable garage bands around the world who aren't also granted a special exception.

  • Delete Articles don't make the cut just because "...our fans have asked for it". Pjbflynn 03:13, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Fails notability and verifiability, plus there is a conflict of interest issue as members of the band seem to be the only ones editing the page. ― El Cid ∴∵ 20:44, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
