• Delete, vanity page. --Zoso 17:39, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete orphan vanity page. DoubleBlue (Talk) 21:23, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

last three articles submitted after preceding votes. EvilPhoenix 23:27, May 16, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete all as vanity. One or the other of the first two is borderline on the band significance test, but falls short. Kelly Martin 04:52, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
• weak Keep Heroine Sheiks; borderline passes WP:MUSIC due to 1. association w/ Swans (band) and The Cows, who are also notable even tho we don't yet have an article on them (lots of national U.S. tours, nine CDs on Sub Pop and Amphetamine Reptile, two of the major 90's indie labels) and 2. they definitely tour the U.S., although sporadically. Delete the rest. Also:

• Strong Comment. All of these articles should not be grouped together. The first two, sure. The second two, O.K. But grouping all four together simply because the same user "might" have created them (or hell, even if he did) strikes me as assuming bad faith and biting the newbies. Since the articles are about at least two different subjects, discussing article content or subject notability is ridiculously complex. We are now, essentially, passing judgment on the author, not on the content or possible content of the articles. Wikipedia is not paper; it won't kill us to have 2 or 4 seperate Vfds on the above pages. Soundguy99 09:52, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
