The result was Withdrawn by nominator, default to keep. Nonadmin close. Xymmax (talk) 22:08, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No assertion of significance for this band, I tagged it A7, it was removed. Given links are only to their own website and a very trivial mention on "allmusic", a directory like listing of bands.
The article claims its two albums were released on the Firecode Core label. The article for this company, before it was deleted due to A7, said that this company had release a total of 3 albums from 2 bands. I don't think the release of 2 albums on a minor label demonstrates notability. Sam Barsoom 21:00, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Withdrawn (if I can do that) due to addition of new references. Sam Barsoom 21:29, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Also note that the original author User:Foot has a remarkably similar moniker to the producer of the band, the "enigmatically-monikered S. Foot" as the article puts it. Sam Barsoom 21:02, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. I've just added references to the article - the band seems to have had plenty of coverage and passes WP:MUSIC.--Michig (talk) 21:26, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Hmm, well considering those references I have to agree with the keep idea and withdraw my AfD if I can. I would like to point you to the {{hangon}} template that can be used to postpone a speedy deletion while you get the references ready. I can't help but feel that would have made this AfD unneeded.

- The hangon templete is for use by the original author of the article if they object to deletion. Any other editor can simply remove the speedy tag if they feel it is inappropriate. I would recommend looking for evidence of notability (e.g. a Google search) before nominating articles for deletion (using whatever method), as a deficient article does not necessarily indicate a lack of notability. Please also refer to the WP:Deletion policy for alternative ways of dealing with articles that have issues (including unclear notability).--Michig (talk) 21:58, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- My understanding is the that burden of verification is on the person seeking to include the information. That is what it says at WP:V. If you remove the tag, you should address the problem while you do it or soon after. Removing the tag and leaving it in the state it was tagged in accomplishes little. Just my opinion, not trying to be pushy about it. Sam Barsoom 22:03, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
