Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/X Is Loaded

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was No consensus. The raw ratio probably deserves a full-fledged keep decision, but a total of 5 opinions makes it hard to declare that consensus was really reached. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:25, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] X Is Loaded

This very spare band artice was speedy deleted. A DRV consensus overturned, finding that the band claimed release on a major label, and that this exempted the article from CSD A7. The article is listed at AfD for full consideration. This is a procedural listing, so I abstain. Xoloz 16:19, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - just because I think I've seen this seen this band, or maybe I have a song of theirs on a compilation tape. Yes, I know WP is not a place to list all the bands Dangherous has heard of, but I have anyway. I don't remember them being particularly good though - maybe that should sway my vote to meh. --Dangherous 17:13, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I've added a link in the article to a BBC review of the band's performance while on tour. I think that meets the minimum for WP:BAND. The article needs work, though. -- Donald Albury 20:04, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[Miffsey note:The original article was a lot longer and more detailed but was deleted without consideration]
• Delete as is, though I could change my mind if the article was expanded. They've released a single full-length on a somewhat-notable indie label, and they have an article in a single reliable source; both of these (along with no other asserted notability) means it fails WP:BAND. The BBC article says they're on a "UK Tour", but it doesn't state if it's a national tour or just, say, a dozen shows in small clubs around Southern England. However, since the BBC article says that they've "blasted onto the music map", it's quite possible that there are other articles in reliable publications which would help the band pass WP:BAND (in which case, I'd obviously change to support). -- Kicking222 03:06, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

 AFD relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• Weak keep - Although AMG doesn't have a bio on them, it does confirm the release of "Laugh, Point & Wave" & "Raw Nerve". Caknuck 17:17, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
• The article claims that one of their singles got "number 1 on the Kerrang! TV video chart". That would satisfy WP:BAND if verified. The tour probably does not count for notability — the article itself describes it as "minor". Delete, but with sources this could be an easy keep. Vectro 03:07, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
