The day after... (band) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

Non-notable band. The Music Monitor Network plug isn't as impressive as it seems. They are a marketing company that only deal with small music chains of 2-30 stores. So the claim that this band premiered ahead of established stars isn't quite as impressive as the article makes it out to be. The press page of the official website only lists article from local media publications and a reference to a E! television show called "Nearly Famous". As far as I can tell, while they may be on the cusp of notability, none of this meets WP:BAND. IrishGuy talk 01:34, 21 January 2007 (UTC)


Some of the individuals you have written articles about are completely unknown to me. This certainly doesn't mean that I assume the articles are worth deleting. Moreover, I just assume that I could learn from your articles, which I originally assumed was the point of wikipedia...to inform people of new things. Am I mistaken?

You are not mistaken that encyclopedias are for learning. But the subject included must be notable. There are specific criteria for inclusion for different categories. WP:MUSIC covers this category and, as the article is currently written, it doesn't meet that criteria. IrishGuy talk 01:42, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Just read the WP:MUSIC that you cited. Many thanks! I still believe that The day after... has reached a certain level as to where they deserve a page. I do believe they meet most of the criteria on those guidelines, although I would need to do some research before editing. Please advise how long I have before the article will be deleted? Many thanks. User:TedKendall 01:55, 21 January 2007 (UTC)TedKendall
An AfD generally lasts five days. It gives the author(s) time to provide whatever is necessary to bring the article up to code, as it were. As I said, I think this band might be on the cusp of notability, but I don't believe they meet WP:MUSIC right now. It doesn't help that all the media links on their official site are for years ago. With nothing recent it makes it seem that their day in the sun has passed. That might not be the case, but I couldn't find any recent notices about them. IrishGuy talk 02:03, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Their name makes it difficult to dig up information on the net. I will try to find something more recent, if it's out there! TedKendall 02:13, 21 January 2007 (UTC)TedKendall
Was it silly of me to assume that you would actually provide some helpful information? TedKendall 02:01, 21 January 2007 (UTC)TedKendall]
Please read WP:CIV. There is no need to be rude. If you want a reply, it would probably behoove you to wait more than five minutes before getting impatient. IrishGuy talk
Fair enough. I apologize, I am just feeling a bit overwhelmed here on Wiki. I think I will have to kick back and learn the ropes a bit before submitting more articles. But next time, I do promise to wait more than six minutes! TedKendall 02:13, 21 January 2007 (UTC)TedKendall
No need to feel overwhelmed. Most editors are pretty helpful if you ask. You can even throw a helpme tag on your page to bring forth an admin when needed. I just put a welcome template on your talk page which might help you look around and find more information. IrishGuy talk 02:16, 21 January 2007 (UTC)


  • Delete or find references suggesting they meet WP:MUSIC - they don't currently appear to. If the user needs more than 5 days, perhaps we can Userfy Chovain(t|c) 02:15, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
What is "userfy"? TedKendallTedKendall
To userfy this page would be to move it to your user space, for instance moving it to User:TedKendall/The day after... (band) and then deleting the resulting redirect. --Dycedarg ж 04:42, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - Who? Notability is notability. --I'll bring the food (Talk - Contribs - My Watchlist) 04:06, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete unless sources proving notability are provided. No current indication that it meets WP:BAND. --Dycedarg ж 04:42, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete doesn't seem to meet WP:MUSIC (although I'm open of course to evidence showing that it does). Lankiveil 05:00, 21 January 2007 (UTC).
  • Delete - If properly constructed with references, it could be a definate keep. But the onus is on the creator(s), not other editors. House of Scandal 09:07, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Per above. NN Band. Rockstar915 00:17, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
  • If the Rolling Stone article turns up and is actually about this band, then I'd have more comfort in suggesting a keep, but for now, Delete. Tony Fox (arf!) 04:26, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment: I'm going to go ahead and Userfy the page, and work with the page creator to get it up to scratch. Chovain(t|c) 05:00, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
    Note to admins: This page has now been userfied (as per discussion with creator), and I've placed a speedy tag on the redirect. This AfD can now be closed. Chovain(t|c) 05:05, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
