List of band names with date references

Violates WP:NOT#DIR of loosely associated topics and WP:NOT#IINFO. Stupid examples from this list include; "40 Below Summer", "The Futureheads", and "Queens of the Stone Age". Almost as bad as the all-time classic Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of bands beginning with the word "lemon". Masaruemoto 00:06, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete as pure WP:TRIVIA, WP:NOT#IINFO, just plain useless and unencyclopedic. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps)))} 01:01, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - indiscriminate trivia that has no serious bearing on anything important. --Haemo 01:31, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Delete The item is trying to group together bands when their names are not intended to be grouped like this. What does "Zero Hour" have in relation to "October Fall". This categorization is extremely loose and in violation of WP:NOT. Up next would be List of band names that start with a noun Corpx 01:48, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I prefer List of band names with one vowel for every three consonants, myself. Not even useful as a category. --Action Jackson IV 02:11, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Haemo. Oyster guitarst 02:49, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, since I'm holding out for List of Bands With Names From Science Fiction Audiobooks, List of Bands With The Word "Head" In Their Name, and last but not least, List of Bands. Period.

I'm only kidding. Delete this. TheLetterM 03:05, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Only one better would be List of artists who choked to death on their own vomit. I loved that Hackers movie. --Breno ^talk 07:27, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per everyone. --Breno ^talk 07:27, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Delete Makes as much sense as List of people named John (yes, that was an article!). How about a list of bands who's name has the word 'the' in it? Get rid of this pointless original research listcruft.--Fightingirish 13:46, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as unnecessary trivia.--JForget 22:42, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per everyone, is it WP:SNOWing yet? Carlossuarez46 17:32, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom; note that most of the band names listed don't even have date references, just references to days of the week, lengths of time, any other reference to time, no matter how vague... Iain99 22:24, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
