7 Seconds of Love
No reliable sources (no sources at all, in fact). No entry on allmusic. No entry on discog. No assertion that this is anything other than a group of blokes with a band. The only remotely notable thing about it is the presence of Joel Veitch, who spun a flash animation habit into some TV adverts in the UK. It was only the line at the end of the article: "7 Seconds Of Love has a small yet growing underground following," that stopped me from using speedy del A7... and that was giving it a big benfit of the doubt. - Motor (talk) 09:01, 3 June 2006 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.25.108.3 (talk • contribs)
 * Delete. I do think this was speedable, as the cited sentence says both small and underground; anyway, patent non-notability substantiated by assertions in article.--Fuhghettaboutit
 * Merge with Joel Veitch then tidy. (per nom) Leave open to recreation. --Billpg 15:14, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep I think they meet WP:MUSIC based on the notability of Joel Veitch. ScottW 18:43, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment This is exactly what the part of WP:MUSIC in question states: "Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable..." Joel Veitch has never been in another notable band; he's (barely) notable for other things, and he certainly doesn't reach 30 Odd Foot of Grunts or The Bacon Brothers notability. -- Kicking222 22:03, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I would argue that Joel Veitch is plenty notable. He's won a couple of Webby's and received substantial media coverage . ScottW 22:39, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment, and is he notable for being in a band? Should we have an article about where he shops, or how about the street he lives in? - Motor (talk) 09:26, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
 * We actually might. --badlydrawnjeff talk 11:02, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment, good luck. That kind of nonsense is about the only thing that would drag me into the policy pages swamp. Anyway, someone did what I should have done originally and added . It's gone. - Motor (talk) 11:56, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, as this really doesn't quite fit under Joel Veitch. --badlydrawnjeff talk 21:04, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong, STRONG delete Amazing lack of notability. Advertising. Completely fails WP:MUSIC- one criteria is having a band member who was (before or after) a member of another notable band; being a slightly-well-known Flash animator doesn't count. Perhaps deserves a mention on Joel Veitch's page, but only a mention (a.k.a. no redirect or merge). -- Kicking222 22:00, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
 * A I must be getting it confused keep - Googles _really_ well, unless there's another band with a similar name... -- cds(talk) 22:11, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as per Kicking222 Bwithh 22:37, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Don't know if this qualifies as a tour exactly, but 7 Seconds of Love has played at least one concert outside of Britain . ScottW 22:46, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment, I think you mean played a "restaurant/bar/hotel". I followed up on your link http://www.winston.nl/. - Motor (talk) 11:45, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
 * keep Don't know about WP standards but they are growing in popularity here on the west coast of the US,
