AYA (band)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Band showing no sign of meeting WP:MUSIC -- not even a full album to their credit and other bands namechecked seem to be mostly redlinked. PROD tag added, but removed by with the edit summary Seems to meet some of the WP:BAND notability guidelines, which I'm not seeing. Calton | Talk 01:55, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Chris Envy who, out of all of the band members, seems to be the most notable.-- TBC Φ  talk?  02:21, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep or at the very least Merge. Hi, Im the guy that started the article. I'd argue that there has been enough activity on the article to warrant its place. More research could be done to add to what is present. The band is notable in the sense that it really was the vehicle for Chris Envy which eventually got his band Showoff on Maverick Records. AYA effectively broke up around this time. AYA never had any full length LPs mostly 7" and split 7". Another reason for their notability is that they were one of the preeminent pop punk bands in the Chicago suburbs during the early and mid 90s. This brand of music, mixed with the hardcore punk, indie, and art rock, scene which was more prominent, eventually lead to the forming of Fall Out Boy, which Chris Envy was briefly a member of, during the beginning. Also check out #5 "Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable; note that it is often most appropriate to use redirects in place of articles on side projects, early bands and such." Again, I would first recommend a KEEP and then later, I'd like to see the content merged with Chris Envy. Xsxex 22:19, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as not being verifiable through reliable sources. Totally fails WP:ATT and WP:MUSIC. NeoFreak 23:58, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Not notable. --Selket Talk 05:33, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Looked at the Chris Envy article (should be stubbed) which would be a weak keep itself. The band was popular among punk rockers (a smaller group of socitey). The band was popular for 3-4 years (Earth is 4.567 billion years old) There groupies were in Homewood/Flossmore. (Where?). --Masterpedia 00:50, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per build the web. All of the members of this band went on to other bands that have articles, so this grouping is worthy for the historical aspect. As a result is was the  band that was a crucial stepping stone for all involved.  Redirecting to one of those band members isnt appropriate as it is systematic bias against drummers (seriously, someone needs to create a project for this).

 * WP:BTW is a guidline on links. If the article fails to establish notability and meet the requirments of WP:ATT then it can be Jersey Turnpike of the web and it's still subject to deletion. NeoFreak 07:01, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
